Answer:

50.0 moles C02

Step-by-step explanation:

First write down the CORRECTLY balanced equation. NOTE: The equation you provide is incorrect.

2C2H2(g) + 5O2(g) ==> 4CO2(g) + 2H2O(g) CORRECT EQUATION

Next, look at the stoichiometric ratio of C2H2 to CO2. You can see it is 2 moles C2H2 produces 4 moles CO2.

Thus, 25.0 moles C2H2 x 4 moles CO2/2 moles C2H4 = 50.0 moles CO2
