Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quicklime (CaO) reacts with carbon (C) to produce calcium carbide (CaC₂) and carbon monoxide (CO). When calcium carbide (CaC₂) is added to water, it produces acetylene gas (C₂H₂) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂).

Quicklime,CaO(s),reacts with C(s)to Produce a Plus Carbon Monoxide
