4.2 Exercise 12

Complete and balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which give the highest possible oxidation state for the oxidized atoms.

(a) $\text{Al} \left(s\right) + \text{F}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightarrow$

(b) $\text{Al} \left(s\right) + \text{CuBr}_{2} \left(a q\right) \rightarrow$ (single displacement)

(c) $\text{P}_{4} \left(s\right) + \text{O}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightarrow$

(d) $\text{Ca} \left(s\right) + \text{H}_{2} \text{O} \left(l\right) \rightarrow$ (products are a strong base and a diatomic gas)
