Answer:

2

Explanation:

In calcium oxide, the calcium is electropositive in nature and to fulfil its octet, the calcium atoms lose two electrons to form the calcium cations whose valency is 2, hence the corresponding anion, i.e. the oxide anion must also have valency 2 to balance the positive charge on the calcium cation.

Hope this helps... 0_0

Lets look out the Electronic configuration of Calcium(Ca)

  • Z=20

EC:-

\\ \rm\longmapsto 1s^22s^22p^63s^2

  • Valency is 2

The reaction equation is:
<span>2CuO(s) + C(s) </span>→ <span>2Cu(s) + CO</span>₂<span>(g)

First, we determine the number of grams present in one ton of copper oxide. This is:
1 ton = 9.09 x 10</span>⁵ g

We convert this into moles by dividing by the molecular mass of copper oxide, which is:
9.09 x 10⁵ / 79.5 = 11,434 moles

Each mole of carbon reduces two moles of copper oxide, so the moles of carbon required are:
11,434 / 2 = 5,717 moles of Carbon required

The mass of carbon is then:
5,717 x 12 = 68,604 grams

The mass of coke is:
68,604 / 0.95 = 72,214 g

The mass of coke required is 7.22 x 10⁴ grams
