Redox reactions consist of reduction and oxidation reactions
oxidation reactions are the giving out of electrons, the oxidation number of the species giving out the electrons increases during oxidation 
reduction reactions are taking in electrons and the oxidation number of the species taking in electrons reduces after reduction
in the reaction Ca + Cl₂ --> CaCl₂
oxidation numbers of Ca in Ca - 0 and CaCl₂ - +2
oxidation numbers of Cl in Cl₂ - 0 and CaCl₂ - -1
oxidation number of Ca has increased from 0 to +2 therefore Ca is oxidised

For the following reaction, 28.6 grams of zinc oxide are allowed to react with 9.54 grams of water . zinc oxide(s) water(l) zinc
maw [93]

Answer:

34.9 g of Zn(OH)₂ is the maximum mass that can be formed

Explanation:

Let's state the reaction:

ZnO(s)  + H₂O(l) → Zn(OH)₂ (aq)

First of all, we need to determine the moles of each reactant and state the limiting:

28.6 g . 1mol /81.38 g = 0.351 moles of ZnO

9.54 g . 1mol /18 g = 0.53 moles of water

As ratio is 1:1, for 0.53 moles of water, we need 0.53 moles of ZnO, but we only have 0.351, so the limiting reactant is the ZnO.

Ratio with the product is also 1:1. From 0.351 moles of oxide we can produce 0.351 moles of hydroxide. Let's calculate the mass:

0.351 mol . 99.4 g /1mol = 34.9 g
