Calcium hydride reacts with water to form hydrogen gas according to the unbalanced equation below: CaH2(s) + H2O(l) --> Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g) This reaction is sometimes used to inflate life rafts, weather balloons, and the like, where a simple, compact means of generating H2 is desired. How many grams of calcium hydride are needed to generate 15.0 L of hydrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 825 torr of pressure?

28 grams CaH₂(s) is required for production of 15L H₂(g) at 25°C and 825Torr.

Explanation:

CaH₂(s) + H₂O(l) => Ca(OH)₂(s) + H₂(g)

Using ideal gas law, PV = nRT

=> moles H₂(g) = PV/RT = [(825/760)Atm](15L)/(0.08206L·Atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹)(298K) = 0.6659 mol H₂(g)

From stoichiometry of given equation,        

=> 0.6659 mol H₂(g) requires 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s)

Converting moles to grams, multiply by formula weight,

=> 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) = 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) x 42g/mole = 27.966 grams CaH₂(s) ≅ 28 grams CaH₂(s)  (2 sig. figs.)

under a microscope, cancer cells may look very different from normal cells. they often have different sizes and some may be larger than normal while others are smaller. cancer cells are often abnormally shaped and the control centre of the cell (the nucleus) may have an abnormal appearance.
