The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

From the question,

We are to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Calcium metal and oxygen gas

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

This is the balanced chemical equation for the reaction

To determine whether the reaction meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction,

We will define the term <em>redox reaction</em>

<em></em>

A <em>redox reaction</em>, also called oxidation-reduction reaction, is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes.

From the balanced equation above we can observe that the oxidation number of the participating species(Calcium and oxygen) changed.

The oxidation number of Calcium changed from 0 to +2

and

The oxidation number of Oxygen changed from 0 to -2

∴ The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

Hence, the balanced chemical equation for the reaction is

2Ca(s) + O₂(g) → 2CaO(s)

and

The process meets the requirements to be considered a redox reaction.

How many electrons are there in the valence shell of the oxygen atom of water? O a. 2 O 6.4 OC.6 O d. 8
denpristay [2]

Answer:

d. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons of oxygen = 6

Valence electrons of hydrogen = 1  

The total number of the valence electrons  = 6 + 2(1) = 8

The Lewis structure is drawn in such a way that the octet of each atom and duet for the hydrogen in the molecule is complete.

In the water molecule,

<u>Oxygen has 2 bond pairs and two lone pairs which means that the total electrons in the valence shell is 8.</u>

. a large piece of jewelry has a mass of 132.6 g. a graduated cylinder initially contains 48.6 ml water. when the jewelry is sub
elena-s [515]

The large piece of jewelry  that has a mass of 132.6 g and when is submerged in a graduated cylinder that initially contains 48.6 ml water and the volume increases to 61.2 ml once the piece of jewelry is submerged, has a density of: 10.523 g/ml

To solve this problem the formulas and the procedures that we have to use  are:

  • v = v(f)-v(i)
  • d = m/v

Where:

  • d= density
  • m= mass
  • v= volume
  • v(f) = final volume
  • v(i) = initial volume

Information about the problem:

  • m = 132.6 g
  • v(i) = 48.6 ml
  • v(f) = 61.2 ml
  • v = ?
  • d =?

Applying the volume formula we get:

v = v(f)-v(i)

v = 61.2 ml - 48.6 ml

v = 12.6 ml

Applying the density  formula we get:

d = m/v

d = 132.6 g/12.6 ml

d = 10.523 g/ml

<h3>What is density?</h3>

It is a physical quantity that expresses the ratio of the body mass to the volume it occupies.
