Calcium is a silvery-white metal; it is relatively soft, but much harder than sodium metal. Calcium is a member of the alkaline-earth metals (Group II on the periodic table); these metals react vigorously with water, although not as violently as the Group I metals such as sodium or potassium:
Ca(s) + 2H2O(l) ——> Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
Molar mass of Ag NO3
= [ atomic mass of Ag + atomic mass of N + 3 ( atomic mass of O ) ) ] u
Substituting the atomic masses of Ag , N & O as 107.9 , 14 & 16 ,respectively in the above expression we get -
=
=169.9 u
