Question #33015
acetylene burn in air forming carbon di-oxide and water vapour calculate the volume of air required to completely burn 50 cm cube
Expert's answer
C2H2 + 5/2O2 ----------------> 2CO2 + H2O
Burning of 1 mole of C2H2 requires 2.5 mole O2
That means 2.5 x 50 cm3 = 125 cm3 O2
Let total air required is = M
20% of air = 125 cm3 O2
20 M/100 = 125 cm3 O2
M = 125 cm3 x 100/20 = 625 cm3
Answer: 625 cm3
Burning of 1 mole of C2H2 requires 2.5 mole O2
That means 2.5 x 50 cm3 = 125 cm3 O2
Let total air required is = M
20% of air = 125 cm3 O2
20 M/100 = 125 cm3 O2
M = 125 cm3 x 100/20 = 625 cm3
Answer: 625 cm3
