Question

GivenL C2H2 + 5O2 ------> 4 CO2 + 2H2O

If 9.5 L of CO2 are produced, how many liters of O2 will be needed for this reaction? Show work

Answer 1

101 L

Step-by-step explanation:

35.0 g KOH ÷ 56.09 g/mol KOH × (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol KOH) × 18 g/mol H2O = 11.2 g H2O

35.0 g HCl ÷ 36.45 g/mol HCl × (1 mol H2O/ 1 mol HCl) × 18 g/mol H2O = 17.3 g H2O

35.0 g KOH is the limiting reactant
