Question

if 10.1 moles of calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water, how many moles of acetylene (C2H2) will be produced ​

Answer 1

10.1 mol C2H2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. balance the equation

CaC2 + 2(H2O) ---> C2H2 + Ca(OH)2

2. mol to mol ration with dimensional analysis

10.1 mol CaC2 | 1 mol C2H2 =

| 1 mol CaC2

3. calculate

10.1 (1/1) = 10.1 mol C2H2
