The hydrogen is a highly active metal. It has a single electron in its valence shell and it can donate its electron to other metal atoms. Thus forming metal hydrides. The hydrogen when ignited it reacts with oxygen and burns explosively this is indicative of high reactivity and spontaneous reactivity of hydrogen atom.

Answer:

Explanation:

n CaCO3 = mass / m.wt

= 500 /( 40 + 12 + 16x 3)

= 5 mole

n CaO = 5 moles ( from the balanced equation we have 1:1 moles )

mass of CaO = nCaO X m.wt

5 x( 40 +16 )
