Question

How many moles of co2 are produced when 3.6 moles c2h2 reacts?

Answer 1

Answer: -

Thus 7.2 moles of CO₂ are produced when 3.6 moles of C₂H₂ reacts.

Explanation: -

C₂H₂ reacts with O₂ to produce CO₂ and H₂O

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂→ 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

From the balanced equation we can see that

2 moles of C₂H₂ gives 4 moles of CO₂

3.6 moles of C₂H₂ gives
`(4 mol of CO2)/(2 mole of C2H2)` x 3.6 moles of C₂H₂

= 7.2 moles of CO₂

Thus 7.2 moles of CO₂ are produced when 3.6 moles of C₂H₂ reacts.
