Just wanna say again I'm not sure but:
If aluminium hydroxide and barium hydroxide are being formed by reaction with water it's probably got to do with OH- ions from water forming dative bond with the metal atoms...
So if there is more such OH- ions in the mixture, there would probably be a higher rate of occurance for this bond formation... Due to random movement and collision and bla bla the high concentration of the OH- increases reaction rate. I suppose. I hope someone else has a more thorough answer.
Wow that's a gud thinking xD
I didn't go so deep xP
Thank you so much =)

I am not getting the ans.. can someone try?
moles:
n of O2 ---> 0.0125 mol
n of Ca ---> 0.028 mol
n of Mg --> 0.047 mol
n of K ----> 0.029 mol
n of Na ---> 0.05 mol

Reactions:
2Ca + O2 ---> 2CaO
2Mg + O2 --> 2MgO
4Na + O2 ---> 2Na2O
4K + O2 ---> 4K2O

From the number of moles calculated, see which one of it satisfies with these equations.

Doing it for option (D) 0.0125 * 4 = 0.05.

How did u come up with this overall equation? can u post the method of obtaining the overall equation

There is no need to do the half equations if you are unsure. Clues are already provided in the question stem.

Reactants: NaCl and H2O
Products: NaOH, H2 and Cl2

NaCl + H2O --> NaOH + H2 + Cl2

Alls thats left to do is to balance the equation.
