Solid calcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide and acetylene gas, C2H2. Express
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.
The solutions in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas. Liquids are represented by (l) and gases are represented by (g).
The balanced chemical reaction is:

Answer : False, there will be two lithium and one oxygen atoms in a unit molecular structure of lithium oxide.
Explanation:
Electronic configuration of lithium is :
In order to attain stable electronic configuration it will loose an electron and form positively charge cation.
The electronic configuration of oxygen is:
Oxygen being second most electronegative atom requires two electrons to attain noble gas configuration stability and form negatively charge ion with 2- charge.:
When two atom of lithium and oxygen comes together , one electron from each lithium atom get transferred to an oxygen atom which results in formation of lithium oxide.
