Calcium carbide is used for the artificial ripening of fruits. Actually the fruit ripens because of the heat evolved while calcium carbide reacts with the moisture. During this reaction calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas are formed. If 200 cm³ of acetylene is formed from a certain mass of calcium carbide, find the volume of oxygen required and carbon dioxide formed during the complete combustion. The combustion reaction can be represented as below.

\[\ce{2C2H2_{(g)} + 5O2_{(g)}-> 4CO2_{(g)} + 2H2O_{(g)}}\]
