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

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.

1. If I have 45 L of He in a balloon at 25 degrees celsius and increase the temperature of the
Greeley [361]

Use Charles' Law: V1/T1 = V2/T2. We assume the pressure and mass of the helium is constant. The units for temperature must be in Kelvin to use this equation (x °C = x + 273.15 K).

We want to solve for the new volume after the temperature is increased from 25 °C (298.15 K) to 55 °C (328.15 K). Since the volume and temperature of a gas at a constant pressure are directly proportional to each other, we should expect the new volume of the balloon to be greater than the initial 45 L.

Rearranging Charles' Law to solve for V2, we get V2 = V1T2/T1.  

(45 L)(328.15 K)/(298.15 K) = 49.5 ≈ 50 L (if we're considering sig figs).

Given what you observe at the molecular/atomic level, why would surface area have this effect?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.
