When calcium carbide and water react, the produce acetylene

When calcium carbide and water react, the produce acetylene gas (C₂H₂) and calcium hydroxide. The reaction is expressed by the following equation: CaC₂(s)+ H₂O(l) --> C₂H₂(g) + Ca(OH)₂(aq). How many grams of water are needed when more than enough calcium carbide is added to produce 9.85 g of acetylene gas?
