Question

Balance the chemical equation using the drop-down options.

CaC2 +
A H20 --->
Ca(OH)2
A C2H2 +

Answer 1

CaC2 + 2H20 ⇋Ca(OH)2 + C2H2

Step-by-step explanation:

CaC2 + A H20 ---> Ca(OH)2 + A C2H2

This is calcium carbide reacting with water to produce calcium hydroxide and ethyne commonly called acetylene.

Let's now balance the equation.

CaC2 + 2H20 ⇋Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
