Explain the Reactions of alkali metals in cold water?
It will react vigourisly
Describe the reaction of the alkali metals with cold waterPredict the reactivity of francium with cold water?
The general reaction is:2 Me + 2 H2O = 2 MeOH + H2where Me is an alkali metal.Very probable francium react violent with water.
What element react with cold water and an word equation for the reaction?
Alkali metals, for example: 2Me + 2H2O = 2MeOH + H2 Me is the metal
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
Which metals act violentely with water?
The Alkali metals (group 1) and the Alkali Earth metals (group 2) react violently with water. Lithium and magnesium show slow reactions in boiling water. Sodium and potassium reacts violently with flames with cool water. The elements in higher periods (strontium, barium etc.) react explosively.Elements in the 1st group react rapidly with cold water. The rate of reaction increases down the period. The elements in the 2nd group also reacts with hot water or steam.
Predict reactivity of francium with cold water?
The reactivity of francium with water would be more reactive than most of the other alkali metals, because the lower down the column of alkali metals you go in the periodic table the more reactive the element becomes in cold water. Therefore, if francium was to react with cold water it would react by giving off an explosion.
What element react with steam and not with cold water?
Gold does not react with water or steam. i wouldn't totally agree with the above statment. There are 5 metals which don't not just 1...these are: .lead .copper .mercury .silver .gold
What happens when alkali metals react with cold water?
A strong reaction with the formation of a hydroxide - MeOH.
Would metals react quicker with hot or cold water?
Hot water. Metals become more malleable at greater temperatures.
What metals react with cold hydrochloric acid?
zinc is famous for reacting with hydrochloric acid but so will magnesium, aluminum, iron and all the alkali, alkaline earths and also group III metals.
What does not have the affinity for water?
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
What metals don't react with cold water?
If you heat up aluminum and then place it in cold water it can dissolve.
