32.
1 kg of calcium carbide (CaC2) produces about 0.41 kg of acetylene gas on treatment with water. How many hours of service can be derived from 1 kg of calcium carbide in an acetylene lamp burning 35 litres of gas at NTP per hour ?

The correct option is B 10 hrs.
CaC2+2H2O�\'Ca(OH)2+C2H2.
Number of moles of C2H2 = Given mass of C2H2/Molecular Mass of C2H2.
= 410g/26g = 15.7 mol.
According to the ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
or
V=nRT/P= 15.7*0.0821*273.3/1 =350 L.
Number of hours of service T = Total amount of Acetylene produced /Amount of acetylene used per hour.
T= 350/35 = 10 hrs.

= 22.4*0.41/(0.026*35) = 10.09 Hrs.

15*22.4=350.
Approximate 350/35 = 10hr.
Approximate 350/35 = 10hr.
