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
I’m pretty sure it’s B
Hope that helps
The required amount of KClO₃ to prepare a saturated solution is 48 grams.
<h3>What is solubility?</h3>
The ability of a material, the solute, to create a solution with another substance, the solvent, is known as solubility.
Given graph is plotted between the temperature and solubility of the substance at 100g of water, so for the given points calculation will be:
- According to the graph for the KClO₃ we require almost 48g of KClO₃ to prepare a saturated solution.
- From the graph it is clear that at 40°C 40g of KCl will dissolve in 100g of water then amount of KCl which will dissolve in 68g of water will be calculated as:
x = (40)(68) / (100) = 27.2g
- On the basis of the graph, if 75 grams of calcium chloride is added to 100 g of water at 25°C then the obtained solution is the unsaturated as they have les solute then the limit.
- Based on the graph cerium sulfate behaves like a precipitate which will not dissolve at any temperature and present in the physical state.
- We can add more 30g to make the KCl solution saturated.
Hence, we require almost 48g of KClO₃ to prepare a saturated solution of KClO₃.
