Write complete balanced equations for the following reactions:

(a) Calcium (solid) +Water (liquid) Calcium hydroxide (solution) +Hydrogen (gas)


(b) Sulphur dioxide (gas)+ Oxygen (gas)Sulphur trioxide (gas)

(a) Ca (s) + 2H20 (l) Ca(OH)2 (aq) + H2 (g)


Calcium will react with 2 moles of water.


(b) 2S02 (g) + 02 (g) 2S03 (g)


2 moles of Sulphur dioxide and oxygen to give 2 moles of Sulphur trioxide.
