When sodium (Na) and carbon (C) are combined, they form sodium carbide (Na2C2). This compound is an ionic compound, consisting of sodium ions (Na+) and carbide ions (C2-). Sodium carbide is a dark gray solid that is highly reactive and can react violently with water, releasing flammable acetylene gas (C2H2).
Carbon dioxide is absorbed, react and calcium carbonate is formed.
no
Assuming pure calcium carbide: CaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 Molar mass of CaC2 = 64.1 Molar mass of water =18 ∴ no mol of CaC2 = 492/64.1=7.68mol ∴ no mol H2O =2*7.68=15.35mol ∴mass H2O = 15.35*18 = 276.3g of water
In general, miltary explosives are very water tolerant, and do not react with water. Ammonium nitrate is used for some military engineering work, and is very soluble in water- but does not have a violent reaction. Sodium, potassium and calcium carbide WILL react vigorously.
C2H2 and Ca(OH)2
it reacts vigorously to form a calcium salt
The nitrogen and hydrogen that don't react are recycled and put through the process again.
Water does react with aluminum carbide. The metal actually decomposes in water and produces methane.
CaC2 (s)+2H2O(l)=> C2H2(g) + Ca(OH)2
There is no such molecule as Ca2. Calcium is simply Ca. Calcium will most likely react with CO2 to produce Calcium oxide and carbon. 2Ca + CO2 --> 2CaO + C.
fizz
Calcium sulfate is formed.
They react to form ammonia
We would need to know the situation to be able to answer this question.
Well, The chemical reaction when calcium is placed with water is a fizzing. It fizzes and also "produces" heat. Not sure what the chemical formula would be called however. Calcium Hydroxide possibly
