Formation of polythene from calcium carb...

Formation of polythene from calcium carbide takes place as follows
`CaC_(2)+2H_(2)OrarrCa(OH)_(2)+C_(2)H_(2)`
`C_(2)H_(2)+H_(2)rarrC_(2)H_(4)`
`nC_(2)H_(4) to (-CH_(2) -CH_(2)-)_(n)`
The amount of polythene obtained from 64 kg of `CaC_(2)` is

A

7 kg

B

14 kg

C

21 kg

D

28 kg

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
64 kg of `CaC_(2)` produces ethylene = 28 kg
`therefore` Amount of polythene produced =28 kg
