I would say Na. Oxygen has 2 valence electrons and when reacting with other molecules, the ones with the fullest or emptiest shells will react the least. Both H2 and Na are in the Alkali Metals in the first row, but since H2 has 2 molecules, it would use more oxygen than Ana
Biomolecules also called biological molecules, any of numerous substance that are produced by cells and living organisms
The reaction of acid, assuming HCl and calcium carbonate always produces a gas. The reaction is as follows:
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2CO3
H2CO3, carbonic acid, is a weak acid that is unstable in water solutions at high concentrations. As such, it decomposes:
H2CO3 --> H2O + CO2
Then,
2 HCl + CaCO3 --> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
The total ionic equation looks as follows:
2H+(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + 2 Cl-(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Clearly, Cl- is a spectator ion as it is unchanged in the reaction. The net ionic reaction looks as follows:
2 H+(aq) + CaCO3(s) --> Ca+2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)
Your question looks a bit incomplete as you have the same contents in options a) and d). According to your list, I can't see the correct answer, but I can give you one.The difference between the potential energy of the products of the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the enthalpy of the reaction.
