5. For the following reaction: C_(2)H_(4(g))+3O_(2(g))arrow 2CO_(2(g))+2H_(2)O_((g)) How many liters of carbon dioxide can be formed if 3.5 liters of oxygen reaction?

To determine how many liters of carbon dioxide can be formed from the reaction of 3.5 liters of oxygen, we need to use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation and the ideal gas law.<br /><br />The balanced chemical equation is:<br />$C_{2}H_{4(g)}+3O_{2(g)}\rightarrow 2CO_{2(g)}+2H_{2}O_{(g)}$<br /><br />From the equation, we can see that 3 moles of oxygen are required to produce 2 moles of carbon dioxide.<br /><br />Using the ideal gas law, we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP) occupies 22.4 liters.<br /><br />Therefore, if 3.5 liters of oxygen are reacted, we can calculate the amount of carbon dioxide produced as follows:<br /><br />(3.5 liters of oxygen) x (2 moles of CO2 / 3 moles of O2) x (22.4 liters of CO2 / 1 mole of CO2) = 2.48 liters of CO2<br /><br />So, 2.48 liters of carbon dioxide can be formed from the reaction of 3.5 liters of oxygen.
