Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the product of the complete combustion of ethyne (C2H2)?
  • Step 1: Understand what ethyne (C2H2) is. It is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made of carbon and hydrogen.
  • Step 2: Know that complete combustion means burning a substance in the presence of enough oxygen.
  • Step 3: Write the chemical equation for the complete combustion of ethyne. It looks like this: C2H2 + O2 → CO2 + H2O.
  • Step 4: Identify the products of the reaction. When ethyne burns completely, it produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
  • Step 5: Conclude that the complete combustion of ethyne results in carbon dioxide and water.
