Calcium carbide, CaC2, can be produced in an electric furnace by strongly heating calcium oxide (lime) with carbon. The unbalanced equation is CaO(s) + C(s) - CaC2 (s)+ CO(g). Calcium carbide is useful because it reacts readily with water to form the flammable gas acetylene, C2 H2, which is used extensively in the welding industry. The unbalanced equation CaC2 (s) +H20(1) → C2H2(9) + Ca(OH)2(s). What mass of acetylene gas, C2H2, would be produced by complete reaction of 7.25 g of calcium carbide? g CH2

One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate.Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with cadmium chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CdCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)→2AgCl(s)+CdNO32(aq). The chemist adds 51.0mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 8.9mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of cadmium chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
