  1. This looks like a pure de ol' stoichiometry problem to me.
    2C2H2 + 5O2 ==> 4CO2 + 2H2O

    By using volumes directly as if they were mols, a short cut can be used which cuts out a couple of steps. I suppose we assume that C2H2 and O2 are there is proportional amounts and neither is in excess.
    200 cc CO2 x (2 mols C2H2/4 mols CO2) =? cc C2H2.
    200 cc CO2 x (5 mols O2 x 4 mols CO2) = ?
