Answer #1

according to the reaction

64 grams of calcium carbide on reaction wit water gives--------------------------26 g of acetylene

14.2 g of calcium carbide on reaction wit water gives--------------------------------------?

                       = 14.2*26/64

                       = 5.76 grams of acetylene produced
