Chapter 4, Problem 23E

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

(a) $\text{Al}\left(s\right)+{\text{F}}_2\left(g\right)\to$

(b) $\text{Al}\left(s\right)+{\text{CuBr}}_2\left(aq\right)\to$ (single displacement)

(c) ${\text{P}}_4\left(s\right)+{\text{O}}_2\left(g\right)\to$

(d) $\text{Ca}\left(s\right)+{\text{H}}_2\text{O}\left(l\right)\to$ (products are a strong base and a diatomic gas)
