When acetylene, C2H2, a fuel used in welding, is burned in air, two molecules of acetylene combine with five oxygen molecules to form four CO2 molecules and two H2O molecules. Select the statement below that is incorrect in regard to this reaction.
A) The balanced equation for the reaction is 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O.
B) If 8 acetylene molecules react, 12 CO2 molecules should form.
C) If 12 H2O molecules are formed, then 30 O2 molecules must have reacted.
D) If 12 CO2 molecules are formed, then 6 H2O molecules should also form.
E) If 24 ethanol molecules react, then 60 oxygen molecules must also react
