Write the equation for the acetylene hydrolysis reaction. How many grams of acetylene will react if 13.2 g

Write the equation for the acetylene hydrolysis reaction. How many grams of acetylene will react if 13.2 g of acetaldehyde is formed.

The reaction equation for the hydrolysis of acetylene:

C2H2 + H2O (Hg2 +, H +) = CH3CHO

The amount of acetaldehyde substance:

v (CH3CHO) = m (CH3CHO) / M (CH3CHO) = 13.2 / 44 = 0.3 (mol).

According to the reaction equation, 1 mol of CH3CHO is formed from 1 mol of C2H2, therefore:

v (C2H2) = v (CH3CHO) = 0.3 (mol).

Thus, the mass of the acetylene reacted is:

m (C2H2) = v (C2H2) * M (C2H2) = 0.3 * 26 = 7.8 (g).
