Reaction of sodium with water
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).
2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
<span>For this reaction, oxidation number of Carbon in
CO would be +2 while oxidation number of carbon in CO2 would be +4 and so this
means that carbon has oxidized. Oxidation number of nitrogen in NO is +2. While
oxidation number of nitrogen in N2 is 0 so this means that nitrogen had reduced.
The reducing agent is the one which provides electrons by oxidizing itself so
in this case; CO is the reducing agent while the C in CO oxidized to produce
electrons. </span><span>I

Answer:
Metal
Element: Calcium
Valency: 2
Explanation:
To find the element, let's use the periodic table. (Look below)
We already went past 3 shells, just need the 2 electrons after it.
Just skip to the 4th row and count 2 to the right
We end up at Calcium.
Calcium is a metal and we're also on the alkaline earth metals column.
Calcium will need to lose 2 electrons to reach stability, so the valency is 2.
Answer:
<u>Metalloid -</u>
A metalloid is a chemical element with properties intermediate between those of typical metals and nonmetals
<u>Alloy</u> -
An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by a metallic bonding character.
Answer:
Subtract the mass of the CuSO4⋅ 5H2O from the mass of CuSO4 is the right one
