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
A chemical formula shows the kinds and numbers of <u>atoms</u> in the smallest representative unit of a substance.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In chemistry, a formula unit is the empirical formula of "ionic or covalent network solid compound" that is used as an independent entity for "stoichiometric calculations". This formula is a representation of a molecule that uses chemical symbols.
The unit is the lowest whole number ratio of ions represented in an ionic compound. It gives the numbers of atoms representing the "smallest representative" unit of a substance. The number of atoms also tells us about the chemical and physical properties of the compound formed.
