is aluminium oxide (also called aloxide, aloxite and alundum). It is neither acid nor base. It has amphoteric nature meaning it can act as an acid with bases and as a base with acids. It neutralises them to salts.
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
Dang that’s crazy.. Goodluck ..
