Example 9.17b: Reaction of Gases

An acetylene tank for an oxyacetylene welding torch provides 9340 L of acetylene gas, \(\ce{C2H2}\), at 0 °C and 1 atm. How many tanks of oxygen, each providing 7.00 × 10^3 L of \(\ce{O2}\) at 0 °C and 1 atm, will be required to burn the acetylene?

\(\ce{2C2H2}\)\(\ce{ + }\)\(\ce{5O2}\)\(\ce{->}\)\(\ce{4CO2}\)\(\ce{ + }\)\(\ce{2H2O}\)\(\ce{ }\)
