Firstly, the chemical equation between the calcium metal and water will be:  

Ca(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)  

We can see from the equation the bubbles of hydrogen gas which are formed during the reaction stick to the surface of the metal and hence calcium floats on water.  

The other metal that will float on the water during the reaction is magnesium which have the same chemical behavior like calcium, we can illustrate that by the chemical equation:

Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Diethyl ether is produced from ethanol according to the following equation:
juin [17]
The balanced chemical equation is given as:

2CH3CH2OH(l) → CH3CH2OCH2CH3(l) + H2O(l)

We are given the yield of  CH3CH2OCH2CH3 and the amount of ethanol to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point for the calculations.

Theoretical amount of product produced:
329 g CH3CH2OH ( 1 mol / 46.07 g ) ( 1 mol CH3CH2OCH2CH3 / 2 mol CH3CH2OH ) (74.12 g / mol ) = 264.66 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3 

% yield = .775 = actual yield / 264.66


actual yield = 205.11 g CH3CH2OCH2CH3

How are a flashlight and lightening similar and how are they different?
grandymaker [24]
<span>A flashlight is an electric-powered light source; the light source is a light bulb or an LED. The electrical energy is converted into visible light. Flashlights can be hand-held or mounted to a platform. Light from a lighting, on the other hand, is formed by exciting electrons to a higher state. </span>
