Question

what information does the following equation convey?
2Ca +O2=2CaO(three points)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• 2Ca + O₂ → 2CaO

• In this reaction, calcium reacts with Oxygen and gives calcium oxide.
• It is a balanced reaction, when the number of moles of substances on the left-hand side and right-hand side are equal then the reaction is called a balanced reaction.
• It also is a redox reaction, when oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously reaction called a redox reaction.
• Here Calcium undergoes oxidation and Oxygen undergoes reduction.
