Answer:
1.204428 * 10^24 atoms
Explanation:
Number of moles = 2 mol
Number of atoms = ?
The relationship between moles and atoms is given by the avogadro's umber. This is the number of units in one mole of a substance. The units can be atoms, ions etc In this case it is atoms. The number is equal to 6.02214076 * 10^23
This means;
1 mol = 6.02214076 * 10^23
2 mol = x
Upon solving for x,
x = 2 * 6.02214076 * 10^23
x = 12.04428 * 10^23
x = 1.204428 * 10^24 atoms
The attraction of like water molecules to each other is called cohension
The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
Calcium Carbide (CaC₂) is an unusual substance that contains a carbon anion (C₂²⁻). The reaction with water involves several steps that occur in rapid succession. CaC2 is a salt (notice that its name is similar to sodium chloride). When a salt dissolves in water, ions leave the crystal lattice and enter the aqueous (aq) solution. Write the relevant balanced chemical equation for the dissolution of CaC₂, in water.
Answer:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
Explanation:
When a salt dissolves in water, it dissociates in its ions. In the Calcium Carbide, the cation is Ca⁺² and the anion is C₂²⁻, so the reaction is:
CaC₂(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + C₂H₂(aq)
The base Ca(OH)₂ is soluble, so it will dissociate at Ca⁺ and OH⁻, but the C₂H₂ is stable and doesn't dissociate in the solution.

c. 1.12mol
