Answer:
78.12g of acetylene
Explanation:
Acetylene and calcium hydroxide are produced when H₂O reacts with CaC₂. The reaction is:
2 H₂O + CaC₂ → C₂H₂ + Ca(OH)₂
Where 1 mole of C₂H₂ (acetylene) is produced per mole of CaC₂
Thus, the addition of 3 moles of CaC₂ produces 3 moles of acetylene.
As molecular mass of acetylene is 26.04g/mol, grams of acetylene produced are:
3mol C₂H₂ × (26.04g / mol) = 78.12g of acetylene
