Asked by Rebecca
                How many grams of H2O are required to react with excess CaC2 to produce 23.0 g of C2H2 according to the following equation?
CaC2 + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + C2H2
a.4.5
b.15.9
c.31.8
d.1.766
I think this equation works out by multiplying 2 moles by the molar mass of H2O. Please please help

    C2H2 is  26 g/mol (2*12 + 2*1)
so
23/26 mols
twice that many mols H20 at 18 g/mol
(46/26)18 = 31.8
    
so
23/26 mols
twice that many mols H20 at 18 g/mol
(46/26)18 = 31.8
