a
One mole of oxygen was used in this reaction.

b
Five moles of oxygen were used in this reaction.

c
Four moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction.

d
Two moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Two moles of carbon dioxide were produced from this reaction

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction can be written as follows;

2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ → 4CO₂ + 2H₂O

From the above chemical reaction, we have;

Two moles of C₂H₂ reacts with five moles of O₂ to produce four moles of CO₂ and two moles of H₂O

We have;

One mole of C₂H₂ will react with two and half moles of O₂ to produce two moles of CO₂ and one mole of H₂O

Therefore, in the above reaction, when one mole of C₂H₂ is used, two moles of CO₂ will be produced.
