11. An industrial chemist who works for a firm which manufactures ethyne (C 2H2)
discovers a very cheap way of producing ethyne. Unfortunately, the ethyne is
contaminated with ethene. Unless the mixture contains at least 50% by volume of
ethyne, it is useless. In order to determine the relative proportions of the two gases in
the mixture, he exploded 10.0 cm3 of the mixture with 30.0 cm3 of oxygen. After
absorbing the residual CO2 with KOH, the unreacted O2 occupied 2.0 cm3. Calculate
the composition of the mixture by volume.
