Explanation:
The reaction forms calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 and hydrogen gas (H2). The calcium metal sinks in water and after an hour or so bubbles of hydrogen are evident, stuck to the surface of the metal.
Ethane

Answer:
2 pair of an electron
Explanation:
carbon having 6 valence electron 2 electron involved in covalent bonding so 4 electron means 2 pairs of an electron will left.
Answer:
Answer: The mass of product left in the test tube will be less than the initial measured mass of the reactants.
Explanation: This is because one of the products of the reaction is a gas (hydrogen) and it escapes as the reaction happens in an open system.
This is the reaction,
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) --------> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
So, evidently, only MgCl2 is left in the reaction test tube together with unreacted reactants.
But, the hydrogen gas that escapes accounts for the lesser mass at the end of the reaction.
The mass in the test tube at the end of the reaction +
the mass of Hydrogen gas that escapes = the mass of reactants before the reaction; consolidating the law of conservation of mass.
