Answer:
2HClO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → Ca(ClO4)2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Perchloric acid + Calcium hydroxide → Calcium perchlorate + Water.
Explanation:
This is a neutralization reaction where the acid, Perchloric acid reacts completely with an appropriate amount of base, aqueous Calcium hydroxide to produce salt, aqueous Calcium perchlorate and water, liquid H2O only.
During this reaction, the hydrogen ion, H+, from the HClO4 is neutralized by the hydroxide ion, OH-, from the Ca(OH)2 to form the water molecule, H2O.
Thus, it is called a neutralization reaction.

Answer:
2Li + F₂ → 2LiF
Explanation:
The reaction expression is given as:
Li + F₂ → LiF
We are to balance the expression. In that case, the number of atoms on both sides of the expression must be the same.
Let use a mathematical approach to solve this problem;
Assign variables a,b and c as the coefficients that will balance the expression:
aLi + bF₂ → cLiF
Conserving Li: a = c
F: 2b = c
let a = 1, c = 1 and b = 
Multiply through by 2;
a = 2, b = 1 and c = 2
2Li + F₂ → 2LiF
First find the number of moles of sulfur using dimensional analysis with avogadro’s number as the conversion factor. 4.2*10^24 atoms * (1 mol/6.022*10^23 atoms) = 7.0 mol sulfur. The molar mass of sulfur is 32.06 g/mol, which is found on the periodic table as sulfur’s (S) atomic weight. Use dimensional analysis again with the molar mass of sulfur as the conversion factor. 7.0 mol * 32.06 g/mol = 224.42 g sulfur. Since the problems gives us two significant figures, round the mass of sulfur to 220 grams, or 2.2 * 10^2 g.
