When 189.6 g of ethylene (C2H4) burns in oxygen to give carbon dioxide and water, how many grams of CO2 are formed? C2H4(g) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(g) (unbalanced)

Answer:

596 g of CO₂ is the mass formed

Explanation:

Combustion reaction:

C₂H₄(g) + 3O₂(g) → 2CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)

We determine moles of ethylene that has reacted:

189.6 g . 1mol / 28g = 6.77 moles

We assume the oxygen is in excess so the limiting reagent will be the ethylene.

1 mol of ethylene produce 2 moles of CO₂ then,

6.77 moles will produce the double of CO₂, 13.5 moles.

We convert the moles to mass: 13.5 mol . 44 g /1mol = 596 g
