ICSE Class 10 Chemistry 2018 Solved Paper

Aluminum carbide reacts with water according to the following equation :

{\Al}_4 {\C}_3+12 {\H}_2 {\O} → 4 {\Al}( {\OH})_3+3 {\CH}_4

[Relative molecular weight of

{\Al}_4 {\C}_3=144

;

{\Al}( {\OH})_3=78]

Question : 57 of 80

Marks: +1, -0

What volume of methane at s.t.p. is obtained from

12 {\g}

of aluminum carbide?

Solution:

\table {\Al}_4 {\C}_3,+,12 {\H}_2 {\O} ,→,\;4 {\Al} ( {\OH}_3) ,+,3 {\CH}_4 ;144 {\gm},,,,4 × 78 {\gm},,3 × 22.4

144 {\gm}

{\Al}_4 {\C}_3

releases

3 × 22.4 l

{\CH}_4

at STP
then

12 {\gm}

{\Al}_4 {\C}_3

releases

\;{3 × 22.4}/{144} × 12

=5.6 l
