Calcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form ethyne, C2H2, and calcium hydroxide. The equation for the reaction is shown. CaC2(s) + 2H2O(l) → C2H2(g) + Ca(OH) 2(s), which volume of ethyne is produced when 6 g of water react completely with CaC2?

1 is the answer to this problem

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
