If you were to remove an electron from a sodium atom that has eleven protons, what would be the electrical charge of the ion?

positive one (+1)

Explanation:

sodium having atomic mass is twenty three (23) and atomic number is eleven (11).

Sodium atom having only one electron in it's outer most shell and it is easy for atom to lose this electron from outer most shell to make itself stable.

So after losing this electron positive charge on the upper right side of the atom will occur with the number of electron lose that is Na+1 .

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
