Which of the following statements is correct about alkali earth metals a. Liquid at room temperature c. React with water b. Do not react with water d. Are in a gaseous state at room temperature?
It is true that alkali earth elements (those in group 2) react with water. When reacting with water, they form the metallic hydroxide and hydrogen gas. An example might be Mg + 2H2O -->Mg(OH)2 + H2(g)
Which metals does not react with water?
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
What happens when metal reacts with water?
Most metals react VERY slowly, but some react vigorously .Metals will produce either the hydroxide or oxide....Did that help...?Hope it did...BYE :)
Does magnesium react with aluminium sulphate?
No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?
No it will not, because sulfate is not an oxidant to Mg.

Did magnesium metal react with water to form a gas and an alkaline solution?
Yes, Mg will react with H2O according to this equation: Mg(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g).

Magnesium and water?
Magnesium react only with water vapors:Mg (s) + 2H2O(g) = Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
How does magnesium react with hydrocloric acid sulfuric acid and water?
Here are the reactions: Mg + HCl = MgCl2(aq) + H2 Mg + H2SO4 = MgSO4(aq) + H2 Mg + 2H2O = Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2 Metal + Acid = Metal Salt in Aqueous Solution + Hydrogen
Does mg react with znso4?
yes
How borax acts as water softening agent?
When borax is added to hard water elements like Mg and Ca react with borax and come out of water and water becomes soft
Can Mg react with chlorine with a colored flame?
no
How could the reactivity of magnesium be compared to zinc?
Magnesium is more reactive than zinc, Mg will react with cold water though very slowly - it will react rapidley with hot water - zinc will not react at all, thats 1 way, another way would be to make up 2 solutions, 1 of Zn(NO3)2 and the other of Mg(NO3)2 then dangle a wire of Zn in the magnesium nitrate and a wire of Mg in the zinc nitrate. Nothing will happen in the Zn in Mg(NO3)2, but in the other a radox reaction will take place... Mg(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq) --> Zn(s) + Mg(NO3)2(aq) The Mg is oxidised from 0 to +2 and the Zn is reduced from +2 to 0. The zinc will precipitate out as sharp crystals. This reaction will take a long time so you need to set up a camera and leave the reaction for a few hours. * Technically some of the Mg will react with the water in a separate reaction... Mg(s) + 2H2O(l) --> H2(g) + Mg(OH)2(s)
What happens when you boil Mg in water?
It gets really hot, but it cools off after a while. Magnesium doesn't react with water unless you set it on fire before you put it in.
Does cupric chloride react with Mg?
Yes it does, because Mg is more reactive than Copper
What are observation when Mg react with O2?
The chemical reaction is:2 Mg + O2 = 2 MgO
