Question
Acetylene gas, C2H2, reacts with oxygen according to the following equation. If 46.0 g of acetylene reacts with 100.0 g of oxygen, what is the theoretical yield of heat produced from the reaction?
___ C2H2(g) + ___ O2(g) → ___ CO2(g) + ___ H2O(g); balanced reaction produces 1299 kJ
___ C2H2(g) + ___ O2(g) → ___ CO2(g) + ___ H2O(g); balanced reaction produces 1299 kJ
Answers
1. Balance the equation.
2. This is a limiting reagent (LR) problem. Determine the LR.
3. Convert mols reactants to heat produced. This is the theoretical yield.
