Question

Acetylene gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of water produced by the reaction of of acetylene. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to significant digits.

Answer 1

0.60 mol

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is as stated below;

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

5 mole amount of Oxygen produces 2 mole of water. Then upon reaction of 1.5mol of O2.

thus, number of mole = (1.5*2)/5 =0.60mol
