How many molecules of oxygen are required for complete combustion of 1 mole of acetylene (C2H2)?
Start with the balanced equation.
2C2H2+5O2 → 4CO2+2H2O
∴ 1 mole of C2H2 requires 52 moles of O2 for complete combustion
1 mole of O2
= 6.022 × 1023 moleculesofO2
52 mole of O2
= 52 × 6.022 × 1023 molecules of O2
= 15.055 × 1023 molecules of O2
