1. Oxyacetylene torches are used for welding, reaching temperature near 2000 °C. These temperatures are due to the combustion of acetylene, C2H2, with oxygen.
a. Write a balanced equation for the combustion of acetylene.
b. Starting with 125 g of both C2H2 and O2, which reactant is limiting?
c. What is the theoretical yield of H2O from the reaction mixture?
d. If 22.5 g of water forms, what is the percent yield?
