What volume of carbon monoxide (4) carbon dioxide CO2 is formed when 1 mol of acyylene is burned?

The oxidation reaction of acetylene with oxygen is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

2C2H2 + 5O2 = 4CO2 + 2H2O;

2 moles of acetylene are reacted with 5 moles of oxygen. This synthesizes 4 mol of carbon dioxide.

When 1 mol of acetylene is burned, 2 mol of carbon dioxide is synthesized.

Let’s calculate its volume. To do this, multiply the amount of the substance and the standard volume of 1 mole of the gaseous substance. 1 mole of ideal gas fills a volume of 22.4 liters under normal conditions.

V CO2 = 2 x 22.4 = 44.8 liters;
