The volume of oxygen at STP required would be 252.0 mL.
Stoichiometic problem
The equation for the complete combustion of C2H2 is as below:
[tex]2C_2H_2 + 5O_2 --- > 4CO_2 + 2H_2O[/tex]
The mole ratio of C2H2 to O2 is 2:5.
1 mole of a gas at STP is 22.4 L.
At STP, 100.50 mL of C2H2 will be:
100.50 x 1/22400 = 0.0045 mole
Equivalent mole of O2 according to the balanced equation = 5/2 x 0.0045 = 0.01125 moles
0.01125 moles of O2 at STP = 0.01125 x 22400 = 252.0 mL
Thus, 252.0 mL of O2 gas will be required at STP.
