Acetylene, C2H2, burns according to the following reaction: C2H2 5O2 --> 4CO2 2H2O. Suppose 1.20 g of C2H2 is mixed with 3.50 g of O2 in a closed, steel container, and the mixture is ignited. What substances will be found in the mixture left when the burning is complete

WWWWWWAAAAAAPPPPPP!!!!!

C2H2 will be left  when the burning is complete.

The equation of the reaction is; 2C2H2 + 5O2 --> 4CO2 + 2H2O

The number of moles of C2H2 reacting is = 1.20 g/26 g/mol = 0.046 moles

The number of moles of O2 is = 3.50 g/32 g/mol = 0.109 moles

Since;

2 mole of C2H2 reacts with 5 moles of O2

x moles of C2H2 reacts with 0.109 moles of O2

x = 2 mole × 0.109 moles/5 moles

x = 0.044 moles of C2H2.

It then follows that C2H2 is the reactant in excess so C2H2  will be left  when the burning is complete.
