100 mL of each acetylene and oxygen are mixed. The mixture is strongly heated to complete the reaction and colled back to room temperature. What is the maximum volume of carbondioxide obtained. Why?

Answer» <html><body><p></p>Solution :The stoichiometric equation for burning of acetylene is given as <br/> `2C_(2)H_(2)+5O_(2)rarr4CO_(2)+2H_(2)O` <br/> `"2 moles of "C_(2)H_(2)="5 moles of "O_(2)` <br/> `"2 volumes of "C_(2)H_(2)=5" volumes of "O_(2)` <br/> `"100 mL of "C_(2)H_(2)=<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/250ml-297852" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 250ML">250ML</a>" of "O_(2)` <br/> `"40 mL of "C_(2)H_(2)=100 mL " of "O_(2)` <br/> <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/hence-484344" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HENCE">HENCE</a> the limiting <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/reagent-1178480" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REAGENT">REAGENT</a> is oxygen <br/> `"5 moles of "O_(2)="4 moles of "CO_(2)` <br/> `"5 volumes of "O_(2)="4 volumes of "CO_(2)` <br/> `"100 mL of "O_(2)=?` <br/> The maximum <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/volume-728707" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VOLUME">VOLUME</a> of `CO_(2)` formed `=100xx(4)/(5)="80 mL"` <br/> This is because no <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/sufficient-1233547" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SUFFICIENT">SUFFICIENT</a> `O_(2)` is available.</body></html>
