To solve the problem, we need to determine the moles of acetylene (C2H2) and ethane (C2H6) in the mixture based on the amount of water produced and the heat released during combustion. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Write the Combustion Reactions The combustion reactions for acetylene and ethane are as follows: 1. For acetylene (C2H2): \[ \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 + \frac{5}{2} \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2 \text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} ...
