Calcium carbide (CaC2(s)) reacts violently with gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl(g)) to produce calcium chloride (CaCl2(s)) and acetylene gas (H2C2(g)). This reaction has an equilibrium constant K=4.76 x 1049. If 32.2 g of CaC2(s) is mixed with 24.4 g of HCl(g) in a 1.2 L container, calculate the equilibrium concentration (in mol/L) of each gas. State any assumptions you have made
