Question

When heavy water reacts with calci carbide the product formed is

Answer 1

Answer:

Calcium carbide reacts with water to produce acetylene gas, C2H2. CaC2 (s) + 2 H2O (l) ----> Ca(OH)2 (aq) + C2H2 (g) Calculate the volume (in liters) of acetylene produced at 29 degrees C and 684 mmHg from 0.026 mol CaC2 and excess H2O.

Answer 2

Hey Mate!!

----------------------------------------------------

This reaction was the basis of the industrial manufacture of acetylene, and is the major industrial use of calcium carbide. At high temperatures, CaC2 reacts with water vapor to give calcium carbonate, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.

CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) = C2H2 (acetylene gas) + Ca(OH)2(s)
