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
Answer:
D. Strong nuclear force, electrostatic force, weak nuclear force, gravitational force
The answer to 4 is A.
The answer to 5 is C.
Answer:
A. Occur in gaseous and liquid state
Explanation:
The choice that is not a characteristic of minerals is that minerals occur in gaseous and liquid state.
All minerals are solid inorganic compounds.
- A mineral is an inorganic compound that is formed naturally.
- They have a definite and specific chemical composition.
- Minerals are the building blocks of rocks.
- When minerals aggregates together, they form different rock types.
- There is no known mineral that is in fluid state.
- All minerals are solids.
- Examples are quartz, kaolinite, gypsum e.t.c
You just need to say how the pressure affects the glass
