Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and acetylene (C2H2). What...?

Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and acetylene (C2H2). What volume of the gas at STP could be produced from the reaction of 50.0g of CaC2 and 50g of water?

Answer:
STP is standard temperature and standard pressure
so the given is:

pressure = 1atm
temp = 270 kelvin

Next, you have 50 grams of both CaC2 and H20. Find which one is the limiting reactant and use that along with a balanced equation and stoichemtry to find the amount of gas produced in mols.

the equation used is:

(Pressure)(volume)=(mol)(gas constant)(temperature)

plug in P, Mol, Constant, and Temp to solve for V
