A water plus a metal makes a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas For example, Potassium + Water ---> Potassium Hyroxide + Water 2K + 2H20 ---> 2KOH + H2
Reaction of a metal oxide with water produces a metal hydroxide, which is a strong base
No it wouldn't be. Metals high up in the reactivity series, such as the alkali metals, react with water. Copper metal wouldn't stay a metal for long if it reacted vigorously with water (which is the same reason that lithium, potassium, and sodium and not commonly found in their metallic state). Most metals that react with water are found as dissolved ions, and not as solid metals.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about the reactivity series.
plumbing i would pick copper because you want the metal that could bent ti make pipes and tanks and below hydrogen in the reactivity series so it doesn't rect with water copper is great for this. correct me if i'm wrong
No, using a strong solution of NaOH to make sodium extract is not practical due to the high reactivity of sodium with water. Sodium metal is typically produced through electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaCl) or other methods that involve isolation of the pure metal.
my God ! make your own ! XD
Copper has extremely low reactivity with water which is why it is used to make water pipes.
metal has a tendency to oxidize and water oxidizes the metal . oxidation leads to rust formation
Acid will make a salt of that metal and free hydrogen, from the acid, if that metal is lower then hydrogen in the electro- motive series
To destroy sodium metal, you can completely react it with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Another method is to react it with ethanol to form sodium ethoxide. Both methods will neutralize the reactivity of sodium. Make sure to take appropriate safety precautions as the reactions can be highly exothermic.
with metal
You can't make a bar of metal float on water, but boats with metal hulls float. Also, metal bars and other metal objects float on mercury.
Metal hydroxides make alkaline solutions.(e.g sodium hydroxide) Pascal
