0.422 g of acetylene is reacted with 2.15 g of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water according to the following chemical equation:
2C2H2(g) + 5O2 (g) -------> 4CO2 (g) + 2H2O
(a) which reactant is the limiting reactant? Support your argument(s) with appropriate calculations.
(b) what is the theoretical yield for carbon dioxide?
(c) if 1.44 g of carbon dioxide is isolated from this reaction, what is the percent yield for carbon dioxide?
