Detailed Solution

The sequence of reactions involved are

CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 ...(1)

CaO + 3C → CaC2 + CO ...(2)

CaC2 + 2H2O → C2H2 + Ca(OH)2 ...(3)

Given

Moles of C2H2 formed = 2moles

starting from (3) equation

CaC2 +2H2OC2H2 +Ca(OH)2  1 mole of CaC2 -1 mole of C2H2 x1 moles of CaC2 -2 moles of C2H2

X1 = 2moles

2equation

CaO+3CCaC2 +CO 1 mole of CaO -1 molof CaC2 X2 moles of CaO -2 moles of CaC2

X2 = 2moles

1st equation

CaCO3 CaO +CO2 1 mole of CaCO3 -1 mole of CaO X3 mole of CaCO3 -X3 mole of CaO

X3 = 2moles

Weight of pure CaCO3 required =2×100 =200 gm

Weight of 80% pure CaCO3 required =200×10080= 250g
