Choose the correct mole ratio for the balanced equation below.

Ca + 2H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2

For every one mole of Ca used in this reaction, two mols of H20 are used, one mole of Ca(OH)2 is formed, and one mole of H2 is formed.

Explanation: Once the equation is balanced, you can get the ratio from the coefficients. If you are looking at the ratio of Ca to H2O, the ratio is 1:2; Ca to H2 1:1.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
