decomposition reaction

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

      _Ca(OH)₂  →   _CaO    +   _H₂O

This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which a single reactant breaks down to give two or more products.

To balance the equation, we assign variables a, b and c, then we use a mathematical approach to solve the problem;

          aCa(OH)₂  →   bCaO    +   cH₂O

Conserving Ca : a = b

                    O:  2a  = b + c

                   H:   2a = 2c

let a  = 1, b = 1 , c = 1

answer: at room temperature (roughly 20 degrees c), you can dissolve 203.9 grams (or 200 grams) of sugar in 100 ml of water. as water temperature increases, the amount of sugar that will dissolve increases, up to about 500 grams of sugar in 100 ml water at 100 degrees c.
