Answer:

a. CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.326 g

e. Moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted = 0.408 g

g. mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 62.9%

Explanation:

a. Molecular equation of the reaction is given below :

CaCl₂.2 H₂O (aq) + K₂C₂O₄. H₂O (aq) ----> 2 KCl + CaC₂O₄ (s) + 3 H₂0 (l)

b. The net ionic equation is given below

Ca²+ (aq) + C₂O₄²- (aq) ----> CaC₂O₄ (s)

C. mass CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g, molar mass of CaC₂O₄ = 128 g/mol

moles CaC₂O₄ produced = 0.284 g / 128 g/mol = 0.00222 moles

Mole ratio of CaC₂O₄ and CaCl₂.2 H₂O is 1 : 1, therefore moles of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = 0.00222 moles

d. Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 147 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles × 147 g/mol = 0.326 g

e. Mole ratio of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O and CaC₂O₄ is 1 : 1, therefore, moles of K₂C₂O₄.2 H₂O reacted = 0.00222 moles

f. Mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O reacted in the mixture = number of moles × molar mass

Molar mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 184 g/mol

grams K2C2O4-H2O reacted = 0.00222 moles 184 g/mole = 0.408 g

g. Mass of sample = 0.879 g

mass of CaCl₂.2 H₂O in sample completely used up = 0.326 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O in sample = 0.879 g - 0.326 g = 0.553 g

mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O remaining unreacted = 0.553 g - 0.408 g = 0.145 g

h. Percent by mass CaCl₂.2 H₂O = 0.326 /0.879 x 100% = 37.1%

Percent by mass of K₂C₂O₄.H₂O = 0.553/0.879 × 100% = 62.9%

calcium reacts with fluorine to produce calcium fluoride. how does oxidation and reduction take place in this reaction?

Assoli18 [71]

The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.

So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as $c a^{+}$ ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to $F^{-}$ ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.
