Use the balanced equation given below to solve the problem that follows: Calculate the mass in grams of water produced along with 5.0 L of CO2 at STP.

[ ] g H2O2

2 C2H2(g) + 5 O2(g --> 4 CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
**Your answer should be written as X.X

Respuesta :

Answer: 1.98 g

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given volume}}{\text{Molar volume}}[/tex]  

[tex]\text{Moles of} CO_2=\frac{5.0L}{22.4L}=0.22moles[/tex]

The balanced given equation is:

[tex]C_2H_2(g)+5O_2(g)\rightarrow 4CO_2(g)+2H_2O(g)[/tex]  

According to stoichiometry :

4 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] will produce =  2 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Thus 0.22 moles of [tex]CO_2[/tex] will produce=[tex]\frac{2}{4}\times 0.22=0.11moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Mass of [tex]H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.11moles\times 18g/mol=1.98g[/tex]

Thus 1.98 g of water is produced along with 5.0 L of [tex]CO_2[/tex] at STP
