Question 10 (1 point)

1 answer:

4 0

The empirical formula gives the relative ratio of atoms in each element. Therefore, it simplifies the whole numbers. For example C2H6 can be reduced to CH3 because they share the greatest common factor (2). The answer to this question would be #1. C4H10 can be reduced to C2H5 because 4 and 10 are both divisible by 2. C2H5 can not be reduced any further. All of the other options do not have a greatest common factor making them a empirical formula.

Acetylene (C2H2) gas is often used in welding torches because of the very high heat produced when it reacts with oxygen (O2) gas

babymother [125]

Answer:

0.05 mol

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction that takes place is:

2C₂H₂ (g) + 5O₂ (g) → 4CO₂ (g) + 2H₂O (g)

Now we<u> convert 0.10 moles of carbon dioxide (CO₂) into moles of acetylene (C₂H₂)</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced reaction</em>:
