Question

What volume of CO₂ at STP is produced when 7 g of C₂H₂ is burned completely? (Molar mass: C₂H₂ = 26 g/mol)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Reaction: 2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O. Moles of C₂H₂ = 7/26 ≈ 0.2692 mol. 2 mol C₂H₂ produce 4 mol CO₂; 0.2692 mol produce 0.5384 mol. Volume = 0.5384 × 22.4 ≈ 12.06 L.
