  • Calculating C2H2 Volume Needed for 200g of H2 at Standard Pressure
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Determine the moles of H₂

    * The molar mass of H₂ is 2.016 g/mol.

    * Divide the given mass of H₂ by its molar mass:

    200 g H₂ / 2.016 g/mol = 99.2 mol H₂

    2. Use the stoichiometry of the reaction

    * The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

    C₂H₂ → 2H₂

    * This equation tells us that 1 mole of C₂H₂ produces 2 moles of H₂.

    3. Calculate the moles of C₂H₂ needed

    * Since the ratio is 1:2, we need half the moles of C₂H₂ compared to H₂.

    * Moles of C₂H₂ = 99.2 mol H₂ / 2 = 49.6 mol C₂H₂

    4. Apply the Ideal Gas Law to find the volume

    * The Ideal Gas Law is: PV = nRT

    * P = Pressure (standard pressure is 1 atm)

    * V = Volume (what we want to find)

    * n = Number of moles (49.6 mol C₂H₂)

    * R = Ideal gas constant (0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)

    * T = Temperature (standard temperature is 273.15 K)

    * Solve for V:

    V = (nRT) / P

    V = (49.6 mol * 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K * 273.15 K) / 1 atm

    V = 1110 L

    Therefore, approximately 1110 liters of C₂H₂ would be required at standard pressure to obtain 200 grams of H₂.
