Gas Stoichiometry: Calculate Volume of Wet Acetylene

[blstrs]

Homework Statement

Calcium carbide reacts with water to produce acetylene gas: CaC2 (s) + 2H2O (l) >> Ca(OH)2 (aq) + C2H2 (g). What volume of wet acetylene is collected at 25C and 715 torr when 5.20g CaC2 is reacted with an excess of water? (Vapor pressure of water at 25C = 23.8 torr)

Homework Equations

PV=nRT
P(total)=P1+P2...etc

The Attempt at a Solution

I found the moles of "dry" C2H2 (.0811 mol). However, I'm not very sure where vapor pressure and the "wet" comes in...

 

[Bohrok]

What is the total pressure, P_total, of the system? What are the partial pressures?

 

[blstrs]

P_total=715 torr
P_H2O=23.8 torr
P_C2H2=691.2 torr

I'm still not exactly sure how all of these fit in...

 

[Borek]

What is volume of acetylene calculated using its partial pressure?

Using the equation PV = nRT, do you recall what P, V, n, R and T stand for? They also need to be in certain units. This may or may not require converting. Do you still need help for this?
