coal gas, gas carbon, coal tar and ammonia liquor,
The balanced reaction is
Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2
Here this reaction can be compared with
A + BC ---> AB + C
So here one reactant (A) is accepting a group which is being given by another compound (BC) however the A is not giving any group / element or ion
So this single displacement
Similarly in the given reaction
the anion OH- is only being replaced
The element Ca accepts OH- and H2O loses the same group to form new element H2
So the correct answer is
Single replacement also known as single displacement
Atomic mass silicon = 28.085 u
1 mol Si ---------------- 28.085 g
? ------------------------ 245 g
245 x 1 / 28.085 => 8.72 mol
answer A
