Answer: -

In the acetylene torch, 7.5 moles of O₂ are needed to react with 3.00 moles of acetylene gas C₂H₂.

Explanation: -

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

2 C₂H₂ + 5 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 2 H₂O

From the equation we see

2 moles of C₂H₂ react with 5 moles of O₂

3.00 moles of C₂H₂ react with [tex] \frac{5 moles of O2}{2 moles of C2H2} [/tex] x 3.00 moles of C₂H₂

= 7.5 moles of O₂

Thus, in the acetylene torch, 7.5 moles of O₂ are needed to react with 3.00 moles of acetylene gas C₂H₂.
