The combustion of ethyne, shown below unbalance, produces heat which can be used to weld metals: C2H2 (g) +502 (g) →2CO: (g) +H20 (g) AH reaction= -1544kJ
How much ethyne gas (in g) would you need to react with excess oxygen according to this reaction in order to raise the temperature of 325 g of high carbon steel from 165'C to its melting point, 1540 C? The heat capacity of high carbon steel is 0.490 J/g'C. (Assume a complete reaction and that all heat is transferred from the reaction to the metal with no loss.)
a. 7.37g
b. 1.84 g
c. 4.13 g
d 3.69 g

3.69 g

Explanation:

Given that:

The mass m = 325 g

The change in temperature ΔT = ( 1540 - 165)° C

= 1375 ° C

Heat capacity = 0.490 J/g°C

The amount of heat required:

q = mcΔT

q =  325 × 0.490 × 1375

q = 218968.75 J

q = 218.97 kJ

The equation for the reaction is expressed as:

Then,

1 mole of the ethyne is equal to 26 g of ethyne required for 1544 kJ heat.

Thus, for 218.97 kJ, the amount of ethyne gas required will be:

= 3.69 g

they it depends on if one believes about radioactivity, they make a geiger counter beep but maybe it was going to beep anyway electronics do wierd things all the time or it was programmed to beep near certain metals.

where are the choice options?
