Acetylene (C,H, gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen (0, gas, producing carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. Calculate the moles of water produced by the reaction of 0.095 mol of acetylene. Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round it to the correct number of significant digits.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
Given that -
Number of moles of acetylene = 0.095 mol
When acetylene burnt with oxygen gas to give Carbon dioxide gas and water vapour, then following balanced Chemical equation is obtained -
2C2H2 + 5O2 -----> 4CO2 + 2H2O
Here , in this reaction , two mol of acetylene react with five mol of oxygen gas to give four mol of Carbon dioxide gas and two mol of water vapour. Thus two mol of acetylene give two mol of water vapour.
