Write the combustion reaction....approx. #14*g# of acetylene are combusted....

Explanation:

#HC-=CH(g)+5/2O_2(g) rarr 2CO_2(g) + H_2O(l) + Delta#

And so if #1.10*mol# carbon dioxide are evolved (take that atmosphere), with respect to acetylene, there is a mass of...

#(1.10*mol)/2xx26.04*g*mol^-1=?*g#
