It would be an physical change ; if you melt butter the butter goes from a solid to a liquid so therefore the physical state is changed.
Answer: A Confucian
Explanation:
In the year 2005, the Guinness Book of World Records recognized the Confucius genealogical line as the longest family tree in history. They have a record of 86 generations over 2,500 years. Confucius (551 to 479 BCE) is believed to have about 3 million descendants all over the world.
So the interest Melissa has in her family tree and also wanting to know how her family has changed over its many generations probably suggests that Melissa more closely resembles a Confucian.
The reaction is
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O (l) -----> Ca(OH)₂ (s) + C₂H₂ (g)
As we have data of gas ethyne (or acetylene), C₂H₂
We can calculate the moles of acetylene and from this we can estimate the mass of calcium carbide taken
the moles of acetylene will be calculated using ideal gas equation
PV =nRT
R = gas constant = 0.0821 Latm/molK
T = 385 K
V = volume = 550 L
P = Pressure = 1.25 atm
n = moles = ?
n = PV /RT = 1.25 X 550 / 0.0821 X 385 = 21.75 mol
As per balanced equation these moles of acetylene will be obtained from same moles of calcium carbide
moles of calcium carbide = 21.75mol
molar mass of CaC₂ = 40 + 24 = 64
mass of CaC₂ = moles X molar mass = 21.75 X 64 = 1392g
This reaction is most likely to fall under SN2 because the
thing called carbonication does not occur in SN1. The carbon forms a partial
bond with the nucleophile during the intermediate phase and the leaving group.
So for this question the reaction will fall under SN2.
