This Exam Is Composed of Three Exercises. It Is Inscribed on 2 Pages. Answer the Three Following Exercises: First Exercise ( pts! Calci"m Carbide Calcium carbide is a compound of chemical formula CaC2 . The most common use of calcium carbide is in the production of ethyne gas. Also, it is used in steel manufacturing and to determine the humidity* content of soil. The equation of the reaction to produce ethyne is given as: CaC2 + 2 2! C2 2 + Ca"! #2 #$ $ho%, using o&idation numbers, that the reaction represented by the above given equation is not an o&idation'reduction reaction. The element calcium belongs to group II. 2$ The placement of carbon in the periodic table is on period 2 "ro% 2# and in group () "column*+#. 2.#$(ndicate among the given electron configurations the one that corresponds to the electron configuration of carbon atom. ,ustify. a! %2 & '( & )# b! %2 & '* c! %# & '( & )2 d! %2 & '#* 2.2$-etermine the relative charge of the electron cloud of carbon atom. "Relative charge of an electron = -1) 2.('-educe the relative charge of the nucleus of the carbon atom. ($The .e%is electron dot symbol of o&ygen atom is: The element o&ygen combines %ith the element carbon to form the molecular compound carbon dio&ide. '/&plain the bond formation in a molecule of carbon dio&ide. *$ The bond in the compound calcium carbide is an ionic bond. $-istinguish ionic bond formation from double covalent bond formation. +$ 0ive, based on the te&t, a reason %hy calcium carbide should be stored in dry containers and not in humid containers. ,emar-: umidity* content of soil: %ater content of soil. .econd Exercise (/points! F"nctioning 0al1anic Cell A galvanic cell converts the energy of a spontaneous redo& reaction into electricity. (t is used as source of electric po%er.
