Will Sodium react with water and one of the products is H2?

Yes. Sodium will react vigorously with water. The reaction is very exothermic and may even cause fire. 2Na + 2H2O ---> 2NaOH + H2


Hydrogen and chlorine react?

water; air && fire; Florine;


What term best describes the role of hydrogen gas in the formation of a water molecule?

The role of hydrogen gas, H2, in the formation of a water molecule, H2O is rather simple. It reacts with 1/2 mole of oxygen to form the water: H2 + 1/2 O2 → H2O or 2 H2 + O2 → 2 H2O Each hydrogen in the hydrogen gas is oxidized from (0) to (+1) and is reducing the oxygen from (0) to (-II) in oxidation state.


When you put potassium in water?

Potassium reacts violently with water to form POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE(KOH)and hydrogen gas K+H2O---------- KOH+H2 The H2 catches fire due to the heat of the reaction which in turn ignites potassium .potassium burn's with a crimson flame.


How are hydrogen molecules different to the water molecules?

One big difference: Hydrogen are an extremely explosive gas molecules (H2), while water is a fire extinguishing fluid (H2O).


What would happen to fire and hydrochloric acid?

HCl will dissociate into h2 and Cl2, and then the H2 gas will ignite. In short, explosion.


How does hydrogen react to fire?

Pure Hydrogen (H2) gas will explosively ignite in the presence of fire.


Why does h2 explode?

H2 (Hydrogen) reacts with O2 (Oxygen) to form water. 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O


Why are some types of fire extinguishers cannot distinguish a magnesium fire?

A magnisium fire burns at a significantly higher temperature than a typical fire with other combustable materials. If a water extinguisher were to be used on a metal fire, the heat of the fire will cause the water to break down into its chemical constituants Hydrogen, and Oxygen (H2O), and instead of removing heat from the fire it will actually cause the fire to intensify due to the addition of fuel Hydrogen (H2) and an oxidizer Oxygen (O). Other extinguishers can extinguish the fire, but again due to the extreme heat it will take significantly more agent to extinguish this type of fire than would be needed for a standard combustables fire. An extinguishing agent which is designed for use on a metal fire can withstand the extreme heat and will extinguish the fire by blanketing the burning metal and smothering the fire by depriving it of oxygen. Dry Sand for example would work well. There are other agents which could be used on this type of fire which extinguish the fire interfering with the fire's chemical reaction rather than smothering it.
