<u>Answer:</u> The number of moles of calcium metal required is 2.0 moles.
<u>Explanation:</u>
We are given:
Moles of water reacted = 4.0 moles
The given chemical reaction follows:
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
2 moles of water is reacted with 1 mole of calcium metal
So, 4.0 moles of water will react with = 
of calcium metal
Hence, the number of moles of calcium metal required is 2.0 moles.
Answer:
b) 7
Explanation:
The pH of a solution produced by the neutralization reaction between 1M of H₂SO₄ and KOH with 1M is closest to 7.
pH is a standard for measuring the acidity and alkalinity of a solution. A solution that is acidic will have a pH less than 7, a neutral solution will have pH of 7 and a basic solution will have pH greater than 7.
What is a neutralization reaction?
- It is an acid-base reaction in which hydrogen and hydroxide ions combines to form water.
- Also a salt results from the combination of the other ions.
In this reaction a base simply neutralizes an acid and the solution becomes neutral before it goes into completion.
Therefore, a neutral solution will have pH of 7 or close to it.
