This is the generic reaction where "M" could represent any of the alkali metals.
2M + 2H2O --> 2MOH + H2
This really does not help anybody... at all. I asked for the metal not the formula
What else can I help you with?
What metal reacts with water to cause an explosion?
there are some alkali metals. It can be sodium or potassium.
What happens when metal reacts with metal?
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
Compare the alkaline earth metals to the alkali metals according to their reactivity with water?
Alkali metals, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, are generally more reactive with water than alkaline earth metals like magnesium and calcium. When alkali metals react with water, they produce hydrogen gas and a strong alkaline solution, often resulting in vigorous or explosive reactions. In contrast, alkaline earth metals react with water less violently; for instance, magnesium reacts slowly with hot water, while calcium reacts more readily but still not as explosively as alkali metals. Overall, the reactivity of alkali metals with water is significantly higher than that of alkaline earth metals.
Metal that bursts into flames when it reacts in water?
I believe that you think to alkali metals (ex. sodium).
Which group above 9-12 reacts with water to yield alkaline solution?
These are the alkali metals.
What is the alkali metal in table salt?
the alkali metals bases reacts with the acids to form salt and water example NaOH+HCl=H2O+NaCl
Which periodic table group reacts violently with water?
Group 1 elements, known as alkali metals like sodium and potassium, react violently with water. When alkali metals come into contact with water, they can produce hydrogen gas and release a large amount of heat, which can result in explosions or fires.
Does chlorine combust when you put it in water?
No, that is a property normally associated with the alkali metals. Chlorine only reacts with water to a small degree.
What is the metal that reacts explosively with acids?
All alkali metals and alkali earth metals below calcium react vigorously with acids.
How do alkali metals react to cold water?
alkali metals react violently in cold water
What is the solubility of alkali metals in water?
The solubility of alkali metals in water is high. Alkali metals such as lithium, sodium, and potassium readily dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions.
Which group reacts with alkali metals to from salts?
Halogens, such as chlorine, iodine or fluorine.
