Answer

When 2.00 moles of $O_2$ reacts, $0.800$ mole of $H_2O$ is produced.

Work Step by Step

1. Find the mole-mole conversion factors: $2 C_2H_2(g) + 5O_2(g) -^{\Delta}-\gt 4CO_2(g) +2 H_2O(g) + 2600 kJ$ According to the coefficients: 5 moles $O_2$ = 2 moles $H_2O$ $\frac{ 5 \space moles \space O_2}{ 2 \space moles \space H_2O}$ and $\frac{ 2 \space moles \space H_2O}{ 5 \space moles \space O_2}$ 2. Use the mole-mole conversion factors to calculate the amount of equivalent $H_2O$ in moles: $ 2.00$ moles $O_2 \times \frac{ 2 \space moles \space H_2O}{ 5 \space moles \space O_2} = 0.800$ mole $H_2O$
