It is called exothermic reaction because it releases heat and light and it is called combustion reaction because it is reacting and is being oxidised by O2 to MgO.
It can also be called as oxidation reaction since Mg is oxidised to MgO.
Answer:
(not sure) The origin of all cells observed can be traced to previous cells
Explanation:
- not all cells convert energy (?) (this I'm not sure but think so? might be wrong tho)
- not all cells have cell walls e.g. animal cells only have the cell membrane, no cell wall
- Rocks and other nonliving things are composed of cells: non living things are composed of the elements and not cells (unless they were previously alive, then they contain dead cells)
The balanced chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
2Ca + O₂ --> 2CaO
stoichiometry of Ca to O₂ is 2:1
this means that 2 mol of Ca reacts with 1 mol of O₂.
If O₂ is the limiting reactant,
4 mol of O₂ should react with (4x2) - 8 mol of Ca
however only 7.43 mol of Ca is present. Therefore Ca is the limiting reactant.
7.43 mol of Ca reacts with - 7.43/2 = 3.715 mol of O₂
therefore there's excess O₂₂ remaining after the reaction
Since Ca is the limiting reactant, it is fully used up in the reaction and there is no Ca remaining after the reaction is completed.
