Calcium Carbide (CaC2) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C2 2- ). The reaction with water involves several s

teps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution.

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.

Answer:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

Explanation:

When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:

CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)

The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.

Which of the following statements best describes why a solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3)2?in 30.0 g of water has a greater boiling-p
sukhopar [10]
Boiling-point elevation is a colligative property.

That means, the the boiling-point elevation depends on the molar content (fraction) of solute.

The dependency is ΔTb = Kb*m

Where ΔTb is the elevation in the boiling point, kb is the boiling constant, and m is the molality.

A solution of 6.00 g of Ca(NO3) in 30.0 g of water has 4 times the molal concentration of a solution of 3.00 g of Ca(NO3)2 in 60.0 g of water.:

(6.00g/molar mass) / 0.030kg = 200 /molar mass
(3.00g/molar mass) / 0.060kg =   50/molar mass

=> 200 / 50 = 4.

Then, given the direct proportion of the elevation of the boiling point with the molal concentration, the solution of 6.00 g  of CaNO3 in 30 g of water will exhibit a greater boiling point elevation.

Or, what is the same, the solution with higher molality will have the higher boiling point.

How many kilojoules are released when 8.2 g of water condenses at 100 °c and cools to 15 °c?
MrRa [10]

Answer:- 2.92 kJ of heat is released.

Solution:- We have water at 100 degree C and it's going to be cool to 15 degree C.

So, change in temperature, \Delta T = 15 - 100 = -85 degree C

mass of water, m = 8.2 g

specific heat of water, c = 4.184\frac{J}{^0C.g}

The equation used for solving this type of problems is:

q=mc\Delta T

Let's plug in the values in the equation and solve it for q which is the heat energy:

q = (8.2)(4.184)(-85)

q = -2916.248 J

They want answer in kJ. So, let's convert J to kJ and for this we divide by 1000.

q=-2916.248J(\frac{1kJ}{1000J})

q = -2.92 kJ

Negative sign indicates the heat is released. So, in the above process of coiling of water, 2.92 kJ of heat is released.
