The equation is not balanced. If we combine hydrochloric acid (HCl) and calcium (Ca), it will look like this:

2HCl + Ca → CaCl2 + H2↑

The H2 here is hydrogen gas.

Can anyone help me with maths 6ab-5bc plus 2ca plus ab plus 6bc-10ac this is a sample of what I have to do. Can you please show working so I get an idea. Thanks?

This is an algebra question. All you can do is sum similar terms. You get 6ab-5bc+2ac (same as 2ca) +ab+6bc-10ac = 7ab-8ac+bc

Do you mean seperately?If yes, then:When they react with air, it is combustion: 2Ca + O2 --> 2CaOWith water, they simply come to be hydroxides: Na + H2O --> NaOH + H2When they react with acids then a salt and hydrogen gas is formed: Zn +2HCl --> ZnCl2 + H2


If a2 plus b2 plus c2 - ab - bc - ca equals 0 then prove a equals b equals c?

a2 + b2 + c2 - ab - bc - ca = 0 => 2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 - 2ab - 2bc - 2ca = 0 Rearranging, a2 - 2ab + b2 + b2 - 2bc + c2 + c2 - 2ca + a2 = 0 => (a2 - 2ab + b2) + (b2 - 2bc + c2) + (c2 - 2ca + a2) = 0 or (a - b)2 + (b - c)2 + (c - a)2 = 0 so a - b = 0, b - c = 0 and c - a = 0 (since each square is >=0) that is, a = b = c
