Question
Before small batteries were available, carbide lamps were used for bicycle lights. Acetylene gas, C2H2, and solid calcium hydroxide were formed by the reaction of calcium carbide, CaC2, with water. The ignition of the acetylene gas provided the light. Currently, the same lamps are used by some cavers, and calcium carbide is used to produce acetylene for carbide cannons.
(a) Outline the steps necessary to answer the following question: What volume of C2H2 at 1.005 atm and 12.2 °C is formed by the reaction of 15.48 g of CaC2 with water?
(b) Answer the question.

- 1. One of the first families of rockets used by the American space program was the Redstonefamily of rockets. The first Redstone rockets (in the 1950s) used B10H14 (often called decaborane)as a rocket fuel that reacts violently with liquid di-oxygen to make diboron trioxide and steam.When used as a rocket fuel, scientists carefully calculated the amount necessary so that bothcomponents ran out at the same time. (Excess fuel would be excess weight for the rocket tocarry.) If the total mass of both reactants put together is 12.0 104 kg, what was the volume ofliquid di-oxygen carried by the rockets? (Liquid di-oxygen has a density of 1.141 g/mL.)arrow_forwardWhen limestone (solid CaCO,) is heated, it decomposes into lime (solid CaO) and carbon dioxide gas. This is an extremely useful industrial process of great antiquity, because powdered lime mixed with water is the basis for mortar and concrete- the lime absorbs CO₂ from the air and turns back into hard, durable limestone. Suppose some calcium carbonate is sealed into a limekiln of volume 500. L. and heated to 520.0 °C. When the amount of CaCO, has stopped changing, it is found that 3.84 kg have disappeared. Calculate the pressure equilibrium constant K, this experiment suggests for the equilibrium between CaCO, and CaO at 520.0 °C. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Note for advanced students: it's possible there was some error in this experiment, and the value it suggests for K, does not match the accepted value.arrow_forward7.
