Well your mass wont change...so it would be 35 grams of a liquid
All matter is made up of particles called atoms and molecules (as opposed to being continuous or just including particles). On the following page, the idea is stated as one of four concepts in Dalton's theory: “All matter is composed of tiny, indivisible particles called atoms” (p. 158s).
Could I hear the options..
Answer:
1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂ or 64.1g of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂
Explanation:
Hello,
To solve this question, we'll require a balanced chemical equation of reaction between calcium carbide and water.
Equation of reaction
CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂
Molar mass of calcium carbide (CaC₂) = 64.1g/mol
Molar mass of water (H₂O) = 18g/mol
Molar mass of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) = 74g/mol
Molar mass of ethyne (C₂H₂) = 26g/mol
From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 1 mole of C₂H₂
1 mole of CaC₂ = mass / molar mass
Mass = 1 × 64.1
Mass = 64.1g
1 mole of C₂H₂ = mass / molar mass
Mass = 1 × 26
Mass = 26g
Therefore, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂
Note: this is a hypothetical calculation since we were not given the initial mass of CaC₂ that starts the reaction
