Calcium carbide is used for the artificial ripening of fruits. Actually the fruit ripens because of the heat evolved while calcium carbide reacts with moisture. During this reaction calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas is formed. If `200 cm^(3)` of acetylene is formed from a certain mass of calcium carbide, find the volume of oxygen required and carbon dioxide formed during the complete combustion. The combustion reaction can be represented as below :
`C_(2)H_(2)(g)+SO_(2)to4CO_(2)(g)+2H_(2)O(g)`

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the combustion reaction of acetylene (C₂H₂) and determine the volumes of oxygen required and carbon dioxide produced during complete combustion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Reaction:** The balanced chemical equation for the combustion of acetylene is: \[ 2 \, \text{C}_2\text{H}_2(g) + 5 \, \text{O}_2(g) \rightarrow 4 \, \text{CO}_2(g) + 2 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) ...
