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.

A student experimentally determines the density of a metal cube. The edge length of the cube is measured using calipers. The cub
IgorC [24]

Answer:

10.9%.

Explanation:

The first thing to do in order to solve this question is to Determine the value for the volume of the the cube. This can be done by taking the cube root of the length of the cube;

The volume of the cube = (length of the cube)^3 = length × length × length = 1.72 × 1.72 × 1.72 =( 1.72)^3 = 5.09cm^3.

The next thing you do is to Determine the exponential density, the can be done by using the formula below;

The exponential density = mass/ volume = 55. 786/ 5.09 = 10.96 g/cm^3.

Therefore, the percent error = (true density of the cube - exponential density of the cube)÷ true density of the cube × 100.

Hence, the percent error = 12.30 - 10.96/12.30 × 100 = 10.9%.
