Answer:
Upper F subscript 2 (g) plus upper C a (s) right arrow with delta above upper C a upper F subscript 2 (s).
Explanation:
This is a chemical reaction problem.
In expressing any chemical reaction, we need to understand that there are reactants and products.
- The reactants are the species on the left hand side that are combining.
- The products are the species on the right hand side that are formed.
- Every chemical reaction is obeys the law of conservation of matter i.e equal number of matter on both sides.
Using the statement of this problem, we can deduce that;
Reactants are Fluorine gas and Calcium metal
Product is Calcium Fluoride
Note: A metal is a solid(s) and powder is a solid(s). A gas is denoted as (g). They depict the state of the species reacting.
F₂ + Ca
→ CaF₂
We can see that equal number of atoms are on both sides of the expression.
