The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as c a^{+} ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to F^{-} ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.

2C3H7OH + 9O2 -&gt; 6CO2 + 8H2O
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

Up to 18\; \rm mol \rm CO_2.

Explanation:

The equation for this reaction: 2\; \rm C_3 H_7 OH + 9\; O_2 \to 6\; CO_2 + 8\; H_2O is indeed balanced.

Notice that the coefficient of \rm C_3 H_7 OH is 2 while that of \rm CO_2 is 6.

Therefore, each unit of this reaction would consume 2 units of \rm C_3H_7OH while producing 6 units of \rm CO_2. In other words, this reaction would produce three times as much \rm CO_2\! as it consumes \rm C_3H_7OH\!.

If all that 6\; \rm mol of \rm C_3H_7OH molecules are actually consumed through this reaction, three times as many \rm CO_2 molecules would be produced. That corresponds to 3 \times 6\; \rm mol = 18\; \rm mol of \rm CO_2\! molecules.
