The temperature decreases because there is no ozone in the mesosphere and the amount of air is decreasing.
Answer:
( °F − 32) × 5/9 = °C
Explanation:
Also there is a mental calculation to convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius. The ratio 5/9 is approximately equal 0.55555….
Subtract 32º to adapt the equivalent in the Fahrenheit scale.
Divide the degrees Celsius by 2 (multiply by 0.5).
Take 1/10 of this number (0.5 * 1/10 = 0.05) and add it to the number obtained previously.
Example: Convert 98.6º F to Centigrade.
98.6 - 32 = 66.6
66.6 * 1/2 = 33.3
33.3 * 1/10 = 3.3
33.3 + 3.3 = 36.6 which is an approximation in degrees Centigrade
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
Its chemical name is Aluminium Sulfite.
