Answer:
a. +2
b. +3
c. -1
Explanation:
The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.
a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.
b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.
c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.
Answer is: 0,0095 mol of hydrogen gas will be produced in reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂.
m(Ca) = 0,38 g.
n(H₂) = ?
n(Ca) = m(Ca) ÷ M(Ca).
n(Ca) = 0,38 g ÷ 40 g/mol
n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
from reaction: n(Ca) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.
n(H₂) = n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
n - amount of substance.
