Acetylene gas, C2H2, is produced as a result of the following reaction: CaC2 + 2H2O ----> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2.

(a) If 32 grams of CaC2 are consumed in this reaction, how many moles of water are needed ?

(b) How Many moles of each product would form ?

Respuesta :

Given the data from the question,

A. The number of mole of water needed for the reaction is 1 mole

Bi. The number of mole of Câ‚‚Hâ‚‚ formed is 0.5 mole

Bii. The number of mole of Ca(OH)â‚‚ formed is 0.5 mole

How to determine the mole of CaCâ‚‚

  • Mass of CaCâ‚‚ = 32 g
  • Molar mass of CaCâ‚‚ = 40 + (12×2) = 64 g/mol
  • Mole of CaCâ‚‚ =?

Mole = mass / molar mass

Mole of CaCâ‚‚ = 32 / 64

Mole of CaCâ‚‚ = 0.5 mole

A. How to determine the mole of water neede

Balanced equation

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCâ‚‚ required 2 moles of Hâ‚‚O

Therefore,

0.5 mole of CaC₂ will require = 0.5 × 2 = 1 mole of H₂O

Thus, 1 mole of Hâ‚‚O is needed for the reaction.

Bi. How to determine the mole of Câ‚‚Hâ‚‚ produced

Balanced equation

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCâ‚‚ reacted to produce 1 mole of Câ‚‚Hâ‚‚

Therefore,

0.5 mole of CaCâ‚‚ will also react to produce 0.5 mole of Câ‚‚Hâ‚‚

Thus, 0.5 mole of Câ‚‚Hâ‚‚ was obtained from the reaction

Bii. How to determine the mole of Ca(OH)â‚‚ produced

Balanced equation

CaC₂ + 2H₂O —> C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of CaCâ‚‚ reacted to produce 1 mole of Ca(OH)â‚‚

Therefore,

0.5 mole of CaCâ‚‚ will also react to produce 0.5 mole of Ca(OH)â‚‚

Thus, 0.5 mole of Ca(OH)â‚‚ was obtained from the reaction
