give the balanced equation for the following. (a) Calcium with water. (b) Hydrogen with chlorine. (c) Hydrogen with copper oxide.
Answers
Explanation:
a) Calcium with water
Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂
- This is an example of a redox reaction.
b) Hydrogen with copper oxide
H₂ + CuO → Cu + H₂O
- Also an example of a redox reaction.
Answer:
a) Calcium with water
Ca + 2 →
b)Hydrogen with chlorine
+ → 2HCl
C)Hydrogen with copper oxide
CuO + → Cu +
Explanation:
Here the number of atoms on the reactant side is equal to the product side. That is the number of atoms in the reactants and products sides of a chemical equation is equal, it is called a balanced chemical equation.
When a chemical reaction occurs, the mass of the products should equal the mass of the reactants, according to the law of conservation of mass. As a result, the number of atoms in each element does not change as a result of the chemical reaction. As a result, the chemical equation representing the reaction must be balanced.
