Answer:
244.7 g of acetylene
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is shown below;
2H20 (l) + CaC2 (s) → Ca(OH)2 (s) + C2H2 (g)
Number of moles of were reacted = reacting mass/molar mass = 358g/18gmol-1 = 19.89 moles of water
From the balanced reaction equation;
2 moles water yields 1 mole of acetylene
19.89 moles of water will yield 19.89 × 1/2 = 9.945 moles of acetylene
Theoretical yield of acetylene = 9.945 moles of acetylene × molar mass of acetylene
Molar mass of acetylene = 26.04 g/mol
Theoretical yield of acetylene = 9.945 moles of acetylene × 26.04 g/mol
Theoretical yield of acetylene = 258.9678 g of acetylene
% yield = actual yield/ theoretical yield × 100
94.5 = actual yield/258.9678 g × 100
Actual yield= 94.5 × 258.9678 g/100
Actual yield = 244.7 g of acetylene
