Expert Solution
Step 1

Solution:- Reaction takes place between CaBr& O2 :-

CaBr2 + O2(g)  CaO + Br2 

Calcium bromide would react with oxygen to give calcium oxide and broime.

(a) The products would form are Calcium oxide (CaO) & Bromine (Br).

(b) Balancing of chemical reaction.

Reaction :- CaBr2 + O2 CaO + Br2 

(1) Multiply CaO by 2 to get 2 oxygen on both side, It would become:- CaBr2 + O2 2CaO + Br2

Now, we get 2 Ca on product side.

(2) Multiply CaBr by 2 to get 2 'Ca' on both sides, we would get:- 

2CaBr2 + O2 2CaO + Br2

(3) Now we have to multiply Br2 on product side to get 4 Br on both sides.
