Calcium in water reacts vigorously to give a cloudy white Precipitate (compound) called Calcium hydroxide alongwith the evolution of Hydrogen gas.

$\boxed{ \mathsf{Ca + H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}}$

<h3>Balancing the equation: </h3>

This reaction is not in it's balanced form! The number of atoms of Hydrogen on the left is 2 while that on the right is 4,I.e.,they're not equal.

Adding a 2 in front of H2O solves the problem by making the number of atoms of each element on both the sides equal.

$\mathsf{Ca +2 H_2O \rightarrow Ca(OH)_2 + H_2}$

<h3>Observations:</h3>

Looking into the equation more carefully, we see:

1 atom of Calcium reacts with 2 molecules of water to give 1 molecule of Calcium Hydroxide alongwith 1 molecule of Hydrogen gas.

<h3>Gram atomic and molecular masses </h3>

Mass of one atom of Calcium = it's gram atomic mass

= 40 g

Mass of one "molecule" of Hydrogen

= it's Gram molecular mass

= gram mass of one atom × number of atoms in one molecule

= 1 × 2

= 2 g

So,

according to our observation:

One atoms of Calcium gives one molecule of Hydrogen (during the particular reaction)

=> 40g of Calcium gives = 2g of Hydrogen

•°• 1 g of Calcium gives = $\frac{2}{40}$

= $\frac{1}{20}$ g Hydrogen

<h3>Answer:</h3>

We're provided with 20g of Calcium,

=> 20g of Calcium gives = 20 × $\frac{1}{20}$ g H2

= 1 g H2
