Answer:
25.08 grams of O₂ are needed to react with 8.15 g of C₂H₂.
Explanation:
The balanced reaction is:
2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O
By reaction stoichiometry, the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:
The molar mass of each compound is:
Then, by reaction stoichiometry, the following mass quantities of each compound participate in the reaction:
Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by stoichiometry 52 grams of C₂H₂ react with 160 grams of O₂, 8.15 grams of C₂H₂ react with how much mass of O₂?
[tex]mass of O_{2} =\frac{8.15 grams of C_{2} H_{2}*160 grams of O_{2} }{52 grams of C_{2} H_{2}}[/tex]
mass of O₂= 25.08 grams
25.08 grams of O₂ are needed to react with 8.15 g of C₂H₂.
