Question

Formation of polyethylene from calcium carbide takes place as follows the amount of polyethylene obtained from 64 kg of cac2 is

Answer 1

Answer:

14kg

Explanation:

as 1 cac2 reacts with 2 h2o to give 2 ca(oh)2 and 1 c2h2

so

in the question moles of cac2=64/(40+24)kmol

=1000mol

so

weight of ethylene obtained=1000*(12+12+1+1)

=14000g

so

polyethylene obtained is =14kg
