Acetylene (C2H2), an important fuel in welding, is produced in the laboratory when calcium carbide reacts with water. CaC2 (s) + 2 H2O (l) –> C2H2 (g) + Ca(OH)2 (aq) For a sample of acetylene collected over water, total gas pressure is 758 torr and the volume is 0.524 L. At the temperature of the gas (296 K), the vapor pressure of water is 21 torr. How many grams of acetylene are collected?
