Best Answer

The cesium will react with the water and create an explosion. This is due to the fact that it is in the Alkali metals column, which all react with water. The reaction strength increases the further down the column you go Caesium (cesium in USA) metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of caesium hydroxide (CsOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is very exothermic. The reaction is so fast that if the reaction is carried out in a glass vessel, the glass container will shatter. Although not known for certain, the reaction is probably slower than that of francium (immediately below caesium in the Periodic Table). The reaction is faster than that of rubidium (immediately above caesium in the periodic table). 2Cs(s) + 2H2O → 2CsOH(aq) + H2(g) it blows up

There would probably be an explosion or at the very least a violent reaction. Caesium is an alkali metal (Group 1 on the periodic table) and alkali metals are extremely reactive. Caesium is second most reactive element in Group 1 (next to only Francium). And the hydrogen it creates in its reaction with water will probably explode because the heat of the (exothermic) reaction is so high. This is not something you should even consider.

Caesium reacts violently with water to produce heat, hydrogen gas, and a caesium hydroxide solution. The heat is so great that the hydrogen produced is usually above its ignition point in air and therefore may explode violently.

It reacts explosively, being the most volatile of the alkali metals. And cesium is so volatile that it even explode in cold water and water ice.

It reacts explosively and is an extremely dangerous alkali metal!

Just like other alkali metals. It will explode and create hydrogen gas (H2) and ceasium hydoxide (CsOH).

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) reacts with water (H20) to form calcium oxide (CaO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl)

CaCl2 + H20 = CaO + 2HCl

yes


Why is ceasium astatide soluble?

Caesium is a Group '1' elemental metal. like sodium and potassium. All group '1' metals are soluble. Hence it follows that caesium is soluble, and so caesium astatide is soluble.

Are all phosphate salts soluble in water?

No, not all phosphate salts are soluble in water. The sodium, potassium, rubidium, caesium, and ammonium phosphates are all water soluble, and most other phosphates are either slightly soluble or are insoluble.


Is CsOH more soluble in water than NaOH?

What is the symbol equation for caesium reacting with water?

the formula for water is simply H2O (two hydrogens, one oxygen). The formula for cesium is Cs, it is a simple element. If you mean the reaction equation it is 2Cs + 2H2O --> 2CsOH + H2 The products are cesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
