Acetylene gas, C2H2, releases large quantities of heat when it burns, making it ideal for welding applications. This gas is gene

rated by reacting calcium carbide with excess water. Calcium hydroxide is a byproduct of this reaction. If you needed 26kg of acetylene to fill a cylinder, how many kg calcium carbide would you need to order?

Answer:

64 kg

Explanation:

The computation of the number of kg need to ordered is shown below:

As we know that

CaC_2 + 2H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)^2   + C_2H_2

Now as we know that

1  mole of C_2H_2 generated from 1 mole of CaC_2

Now

26g of C_2H_2 generated from 64g of CaC_2

And,

26kg of C_2H_2 generated from

= \frac{64g\times26Kg}{26g}

= 64kg CaC_2

Hence, the number of kg that required for ordering the calcium carbide is 64 kg

A sample from solution a and solution b were each tested with blue colored glucose indicator solution before the solutions were
vova2212 [387]
With the given problem you gave here, I can't answer the question because I need more details. Luckily, I found a similar problem that's provided with a diagram and a table shown in the attached picture.

This test is called the Benedict's test which is used as test for presence of sugars. If the solution contains sugar, like glucose, the solution would turn from blue to red. If not, it would stay blue. <em>Therefore, the correct results would be that in row 3.</em>

How many moles are in 15.2 grams of Calcium (Ca)?
nalin [4]

Answer:

There are 0.379 moles of Ca in the given sample.

Explanation:

Hey there!

We're given that we have 15.2 grams of Ca (Calcium). We need to convert grams to moles.

There are many different conversion types for moles. A few examples are:

  • grams to moles
  • moles to grams
  • grams to particles
  • moles to liters

There are really endless possibilities for conversion factors. Since we want to find the number of moles in a certain sample, we first need to define what a mole is.

  • <u>Mole</u> - a unit of measurement in chemistry

A mole is one unit of a certain item. For instance, one cup would be equivalent to one mole. Moles are simply a hypothetical unit in chemistry that act as a placeholder.

<u>Now, how do we find the number of moles?</u>

We know that a mole of something is one of that substance. In this case, we're referring to one atom of Calcium.

Therefore, we need to reference a periodic table to understand what the mass of one atom of calcium is equivalent to. I'll be using the official AP Chemistry periodic table as issued by the College Board.

When we reference the periodic table, we see the mass of one atom of calcium is equivalent to 40.08 amu (atomic mass units).

We learn in chemistry that we can use the terms amu and grams interchangeably, so we have learned that one mole of calcium is equivalent to 40.08 grams.

<u>How do we work this out?</u>

Now, we need to find out how many moles are in 15.2 grams of calcium. We can use dimensional analysis to work this out.

Our starting unit will be 15.2 grams of Ca.

  • \text{15.2 grams Ca}

We want to convert this into moles, so we need to cancel out our grams value. Additionally, since we know that we have 40.08 grams of Ca in one mole, we can set these up as two ratios:

  • \displaystyle \frac{\text{40.08 grams Ca}}{\text{1 mole Ca}}
  • \displaystyle \frac{\text{1 mole Ca}}{\text{40.08 grams Ca}}

These ratios can be used to express the relationship between the moles of calcium and the mass of one calcium atom. However, we need our value of grams to cancel out, so since we will be using cross multiplication in our dimensional analysis, we need to use the ratio with grams on the bottom.

Now that we have selected our ratio, we can set up a multiplication problem of our two ratios:

\displaystyle \text{15.2 grams Ca} \times \frac{\text{1 mole Ca}}{\text{40.08 grams Ca}}

We assume that we have a denominator of 1 below 15.2 grams Ca.

Now, we perform our multiplication.

\displaystyle \frac{\text{15.2 grams Ca} \ \times \ \text{1 mole Ca}}{\text{40.08 grams Ca}}

We see that our remaining unit is going to be mole(s) Ca, so we can go ahead and drop our grams Ca unit.

\displaystyle \frac{\text{15.2} \ \times \ \text{1 mole Ca}}{\text{40.08}}

Now, we need to simplify a little bit.

\displaystyle \frac{\text{15.2}}{\text{40.08}} = \text{? moles Ca}

Finally, let's divide our fraction and evaluate our equation to find the value of moles Ca.

\displaystyle \frac{15.2}{40.08} = \text{0.379241517 moles Ca}

<u>Are we done yet?</u>

Not just yet! To complete our work, we need to find the number of significant figures we can use. We are given two values in which we can use to judge how many significant figures we are limited to.

  • 15.2 -- Three significant figures
  • 40.08 -- Four significant figures

In chemistry, we always use the least number of significant figures for precision calculations, so we need to round our answer to three significant figures.

0.379241517 \approx 0.379

Therefore, there are approximately 0.379 moles of Ca in the given sample.

Uranium-232 has a half-life of 68.8 years. After 344.0 years, how much uranium-232 will remain from a 100.0-g sample?
amm1812

Answer:  3.13 g

Explanation:

Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics.

Half-life of uranium-232 = 68.8 years

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}=\frac{0.693}{68.8}= 0.010072674 year^{-1}

N=N_o\times e^{-\lambda t}

N = amount left after time t

N_0 = initial amount

\lambda = rate constant

t= time

N_0 = 100 g, t= 344 years, \lambda=0.010072674 years^{-1}

N=100\times e^{- 0.010072674 years^{-1}\times 344 years}

N=3.13g
