Further Applications of the Ideal-Gas Equation

Chapter 6, Problem 62E

(choose chapter or problem)

Acetylene gas, \(C_{2} H_{2}(g)\), can be prepared by the reaction of calcium carbide with water:

                                    \(CaC_2(s)\) + 2 \(H_{2}O(l) \longrightarrow Ca(OH)_{2}(aq)\) + \(C_{2} H_{2}(g)\)

Calculate the volume of \(C_{2} H_{2}\) that is collected over water at 23 °C by reaction of 1.524 g of \(CaC_{2}\) if the total pressure of the gas is 753 torr. (The vapor pressure of water is tabulated in Appendix B.)
