Answer:
If an object is accelerating the forces acting on the object are BALANCED.
Explanation
if an object is moving at a constant rate of acceleration, the the forces acting upon it are balanced .
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
Your answer is B.
Because it says that that carbon burns in presence of oxygen (C+O) which is equal ( => ) to Carbon Dioxide (
