(a)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction between calcium and
Concept introduction:
The alkaline earth metals react with water giving metal hydroxide, with the exception of beryllium. Beryllium does not react with water. Magnesium reacts with water at high temperatures. But calcium and strontium can react with water slowly at room temperature. This reaction produces metal hydroxide along with bubbles of hydrogen gas.
(b)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction between calcium and
Concept introduction:
Helium is an inert gas that we name as a noble gas because it has a complete electron configuration. There is one
(c)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction between calcium and
Concept introduction:
Alkaline earth metals tend to react with halogens forming ionic halide salts.
(d)
Interpretation:
The chemical equation for the reaction between calcium and
Concept introduction:
Alkaline metals react with oxygen to form metal oxide. It has the general formula

- (c) Theoretically, define the following elements in the formulae belowPth = ρghq x ŋarrow_forwardWhile selenic acid has the formula H2SeO4 and thus is directly related to sulfuric acid, telluric acid is best visualized as H6TeO6 or Te(OH)6? a. What is the oxidation state of tellurium in Te(OH)6? b. Despite its structural differences with sulfuric and selenic acid, telluric acid is a diprotic acid with pKa1=7.68 and pKa2=11.29. Telluric add can be prepared by hydrolysis of tellurium hexafluoride according to the equation TeF6(g)+6H2O(l)Te(OH)6(aq)+6HF(aq) Tellurium hexafluoride can be prepared by the reaction of elemental tellurium with fluorine gas: Te(s)+3F2(g)TeF6(g) If a cubic block of tellurium (density = 6.240 g/cm3) measuring 0.545 cm on edge is allowed to react with 2.34 L fluorine gas at 1.06 atm and 25C, what is the pH of a solution of Te(OH)6 formed by dissolving the isolated TeF6(g) in 115 mL solution? Assume 100% yield in all reactions.arrow_forwardHow many grams of gaseous ammonia will the reaction of 3.0 g hydrogen gas and 3.0 g of nitrogen gas produce?arrow_forward
