How many grams of acetylene are produced by adding water to 5.00 g CaC2?

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

2.03125g of acetylene

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation;

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → Ca(OH)2(aq) + C2H2(g)

Water is in excess, so CAC2 is our limiting reactant. i.e it determines the amount of product that would be formed.

1 mol of CaC2 produces 1 mol of C2H2

In terms of mass;

Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass

where the molar mass of the elements are;

Ca = 40g/mol

C = 12g/mol

H = 1g/mol

CaC2 = 40+ (2*12) = 64g/mol

C2H2 =( 2 * 12) + ( 2 * 1) = 26g/mol

64g (1 * 64g/mol) of CaC2 produces 26g ( 1mol * 26g/mol) of C2H2

5g would produce x?

64 = 26

5 = x

Upon solving for x we have;

x = (5 * 26) / 64

x = 2.03125g

Which of the following statements best explains the observation that hydrogen fluoride has the highest boiling point of all the

olasank [31]

Answer:

c. HF can participate in hydrogen bonding.

Explanation:

The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

If it takes more energy to separate molecules of HF than of the rest of the hydrogen halides because HF molecules are held together by stronger intermolecular forces, then the boiling point of HF will be higher than that of all the hydrogen halides.

A particularly strong type of intermolecular attraction is called the hydrogen bond, which is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction between the hydrogen atom in a polar bond, such as N-H, O-H, or F-H, and an electronegative O, N, or F atom.

I have not read the article, and so I don't know in what context this is referring to. But I do know that Infra-sound is made up of a really low frequency sound, beyond the range of hearing by humans. Helpful? :)

Is oxygen a alkaline earth metal?

Nookie1986 [14]

No. Oxygen isn't even a metal.

Alkaline earth metals are the elements of the second column of the periodic table.

When magnesium chloride is formed what question will the student need to ask prior to writing the formula?

ivann1987 [24]

Prior to writing the chemical formula of magnesium chloride, a question which any student will need to ask is: A. What are the oxidation numbers of each atom?

A chemical formula can be defined as a scientific notation that is used to show (represent) the type and total number of atoms that constitute a particular chemical molecule or compound, by using the oxidation number, chemical symbols and subscripts.

Hence, a student would need to know the oxidation numbers of each atom when magnesium chloride is formed after a chemical reaction.

In Chemistry, an oxidation number represents the number of electrons gained or lost by an atom of a chemical element during a chemical reaction.

In conclusion, when magnesium chloride is formed, a question which the student will need to ask prior to writing the chemical formula is "what are the oxidation numbers of each atom?"
