When water is added to solid calcium carbide, CaC2, the produces are acetylene gas, C2H2, and aqueous calcium hydroxide.a. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.b. How many moles of acetylene are produced when 0.50 moles of calcium carbide react?c. How many moles of calcium carbide are needed to completely react with 5.00x1022 water molecules?
7. Anhydrous solid calcium chloride is frequently used in the laboratory as a drying agent for solvents,because it absorbs 6 moles of water molecules for every mole of calcium chloride used (forming thestable solid hydrated salt calcium chloride hexahydrate). Anhydrous calcium chloride is typicallyprepared by treating solid calcium carbonate with hydrogen chloride gas. A large amount of heat isgenerated by this reaction, so the water produced from the reaction is usually driven off as steam.Some liquid water may remain, however, and it may dissolve some of the desired calcium chloride.What is the percent yield if 405 g of calcium carbonate is treated with 250. g of anhydrous hydrogenchloride and only 242 g of CaCl2 is obtained?
Industrial production of nitric acid, which is used in many products including fertilizers and explosives, approaches 10 billion kg per year worldwide. The first step in its production is the exothermic oxidation of ammonia, represented by the following equation.
4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g)
ΔH⁰rxn
= −902.0 kJ
If this reaction is carried out using 7.007 ✕ 103 g NH3 as the limiting reactant, what is the change in enthalpy?

When in danger, bombardier beetles can fire a hot, toxic mixture of chemicals at their attacker. This
mixture contains quinone, C6H4O2, a compound that is formed by the reaction of hydroquinone, CH4(OH)2,
with hydrogen peroxide, H2O2. The equation for the overall reaction is:
CH4(OH)2(aq) + H2O2(aq) → C6H4O2(aq) + 2H2O(ℓ)
Use the following data to calculate the enthalpy change, in kJ mol-1
, for the above reaction.
CH4(OH)2(aq) → C6H4O2 (aq) + H2(g) ΔH = +177.4 kJ mol−1
H2(g) + O2(g) → H2O2(aq) ΔH = −191.2 kJ mol−1
