Calcium oxide is sometimes very challenging to store in the chemistry laboratory. This compound reacts with moisture in the air
2 answers:
Explanation:
Calcium oxide absorbed moisture (water vapors ) from the air and forms calcium hydroxide as a product which why it is stored in dry place in a chemistry laboratory.
The chemical reaction between calcium oxide and moisture is given as:
According to stoichiometry, 1 mole of calcium oxide reacts with 1 mole of water vapors to give 1 mole of calcium hydroxide.

The mass of atoms of carbon and 3 molecules of hydrogen : 18 g/mol
<h3>Further explanation </h3>An atomic mass unit ( amu or "u") is a relative atomic mass of 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
The molar mass(molecular mass-formula mass-molecular weight(MW)) of a compound is the sum of the relative atomic mass (Ar) of the constituent elements of the compound
Can be formulated :
M AxBy = (x.Ar A + y. Ar B)
The mass of atom of Carbon(C)⇒Ar = 12 g/mol
The mass of 1 molecule of Hydrogen - H₂(MW) : 2 g/mol
The mass of 3 molecules of Hydrogen : 3 x 2 = 6 g/mol
So the mass of atoms of carbon and 3 molecules of hydrogen :
