Moles of Oxygen= 2.8075 moles
Further explanation
Given
29.2 grams of acetylene
Required
moles of Oxygen
Solution
Reaction(Combustion of Acetylene) :
2 C₂H₂ (g) + 5 O₂ (g) ⇒ 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)
Mol of Acetylene :
= mass : MW Acetylene
= 29.2 g : 26 g/mol
= 1.123
From equation, mol ratio of Acetylene(C₂H₂) : O₂ = 2 : 5, so mol O₂ :
= 5/2 x mol C₂H₂
= 5/2 x 1.123
= 2.8075 moles
