The given chemical reaction is between solid calcium and aqueous nitric acid to form aqueous calcium nitrate, gaseous dinitrogen monoxide and water. This reaction represents a single displacement reaction in which calcium the more reactive metal replaces hydrogen from nitric acid.
Word equation for the reaction:
Calcium(s)+Nitric acid (aq)----> Calcium nitrate(aq)+Dinitrogen monoxide(g) + water(l)
Chemical equation for the given reaction can be represented as:
[tex]4Ca(s)+10HNO_{3}(aq)--->4Ca(NO_{3})_{2}(aq)+ N_{2}O(g)+5H_{2}O(l)[/tex]
