Chemistry

Procedure followed:
CaC2 to Gas X to Benzene
By IR spectroscopy on a liquefied sample of the reactionproduct, it was found that not all the amount of X gas wasconverted to benzene.
Toconfirm and verify the composition of ethyne and benzene mixture,in 5 g of the mixture, cold bromine solution was added. 8g ofbromine was required for complete reaction.
1)Calculate the composition of the sample in 2 substances2)Calculate the impurity content of CaC2. if for the preparation ofthe 5g mixture, 15g of hydrocarbon was completelyhydrolyzed.

1mol Br2 =160 g
x. =8g
x= 0,05 mol

1 mol ethyne reacts with 2mol Br2
x=0,025mol. 0,05 mol

1 mol ethyne =26g (Mr)
0,025 mol. =x
x=0,65g

5-0,65=4,35g benzene
