Chapter 9, Problem 70E

Before small batteries were available, carbide lamps were used for bicycle lights. Acetylene gas. C 2 H 2 , and solid calcium hydroxide were formed by the reaction of calcium carbide, CaC 2 . 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 C 2 H 2 at 1.005 atm and 12.2 °C is formed by the reaction of 15.48 g of CaC 2 with water?

(b) Answer the question.

Write the balanced chemical equation for conversion of Al(s) to KAl(SO4)2·12H2O(s) in aqueous solution.
A student experimentally determines the gas law constant, R, by reacting a small piece of magnesium with excess hydrochloric acid and then collecting the hydrogen gas over water in a eudiometer. Based L-atm on experimentally collected data, the student calculates R to equal 0.0832 mol·K L-atm Ideal gas law constant from literature: 0.08206 mol·K (a) Determine the percent error for the student's R-value. Percent error = % (b) For the statements below, identify the possible source(s) of error for this student's trial. The student notices a large air bubble in the eudiometer after collecting the hydrogen gas, but does not dislodge it. The student does not clean the zinc metal with sand paper. The student does not equilibrate the water levels within the eudiometer and the beaker at the end of the reaction. The water level in the eudiometer is 1-inch above the water level in the beaker. The student uses the barometric pressure for the lab to calculate R.
A metal cylinder with a capacity of 6.0 L is filled with compressed propane (C3H8). The pressure and temperature of the cylinder when it was initially filled were 120 atm and 75 ◦C, respectively. The molar mass of carbon is 12 g·mol−1 and the molar mass of hydrogen is 1 g·mol−1. a)  How many moles of propane are in the cylinder? b)  What is the mass of the propane inside the cylinder?  c) After some time, the cylinder and its contents cool to 25 ◦C. What is the pressure in the cylinder after it has cooled?
