When calcium carbide (CaC2) comes into contact with water, it produces ethyne (C2H2) according to this equation: CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2(s). Suppose this reaction takes place in a sealed container in which the gas occupies a volume of 1.50 liters. The container is kept at a temperature of 0°C. If 5.18 grams of calcium carbide reacts with excess water, what is the partial pressure of the ethyne gas produced, in atmospheres? 1.21

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
