The balanced chemical equation given is:
2C₂H₂(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)
To find the ratio of C₂H₂ to CO₂, we compare the coefficients of these compounds in the balanced equation.
From the balanced equation:
- For C₂H₂, the coefficient is 2.
- For CO₂, the coefficient is 4.
Therefore, the ratio of C₂H₂ to CO₂ from the balanced equation is 2:4 or simplified to 1:2.
This means for every 1 mole of C₂H₂ reacting, 2 moles of CO₂ are produced according to the balanced chemical equation provided.
