Acetylene torches are used for welding. these torches use a mixture of acetylene gas, c2h2, and oxygen gas, o2 to produce the following combustion reaction: 2c2h2(g)+5o2(g)→4co2(g)+2h2o(g) part a imagine that you have a 7.00 l gas tank and a 4.00 l gas tank. you need to fill one tank with oxygen and the other with acetylene to use in conjunction with your welding torch. if you fill the larger tank with oxygen to a pressure of 155 atm , to what pressure should you fill the acetylene tank to ensure that you run out of each gas at the same time? assume ideal behavior for all gases.

The pressure in the acetylene tank should be 108.5 atm

Explanation:

Via the ideal gas law, we can calculate the unknow number of pressure.

Step 1: The balanced equation

2C2H2(g)+5O2(g)→4CO2(g)+2H2O(g)

This means for 2 moles of acetylene consumed, there is needed 5 moles of oxygen to produced 4 moles of carbon dioxide and 2 moles of water.

Step2: Data given:

V1 = volume of tank 1 = 7L

V2 = volume of tank 2 = 4L

P1 = pressure of tank 1 = 155 atm

P2= pressure of tank 2 = TO BE DETERMINED

n1 = moles of the oxygen tank = 5 moles

n2 = moles of the acetylene tank = 2 moles

Step 3: Calculate the pressure of the acetylene tank.

The ideal gas law says:

(P1*V1)/n1 = (P2*V2)/n2

To find the pressure P2 of the acetylene tank: P2 = (P1*V1 *n2)/ (n1*V2)

P2 = (155 atm * 7L *2moles)/(5moles * 4L) = 108.5 atm

The pressure in the acetylene tank should be 108.5 atm

in theory, limestone is composed principally of the compound calcium carbonate - caco3, but in reality this compound is deposited in conditions involving a number of other compounds as impurities so it ends up being a mixture of many compounds.

hope this : -)

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.
