What is the product of the complete combustion of ethyne (acetylene)?

Step 1: Understand what ethyne (acetylene) is. It is a hydrocarbon with the formula C2H2.
Step 2: Know that complete combustion means burning a substance in the presence of enough oxygen.
Step 3: Write the general equation for the complete combustion of hydrocarbons: Hydrocarbon + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water.
Step 4: For ethyne (C2H2), the combustion equation will be: C2H2 + O2 -> CO2 + H2O.
Step 5: Balance the equation. The balanced equation for the complete combustion of ethyne is: 2 C2H2 + 5 O2 -> 4 CO2 + 2 H2O.
Step 6: Identify the products of the reaction. The products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
