Question:
Calcium reacts with hydrogen gas at 300−400°C to form a hydride. This compound reacts readily with water, so it is an excellent drying agent for organic solvents.
(a) Write a balanced equation showing the formation of calcium hydride from Ca and H2.
(b) Write a balanced equation for the reaction of calcium hydride with water (Figure 21.7).
