Lithium, like other alklai metals, reacts pretty violently with water. The reaction is 2Li + 2H2O ==>2LiOH + H2(g)

What happens when a lithium ion reaches a cathode?
The lithium ion is reduced to an atom of metallic lithium. (If liquid water is in contact with the cathode, however, each lithium atom will react very rapidly with water and become a lithium ion again, releasing hydrogen to the atmosphere.)
What happens after sodium comes in contact with water?
when sodium comes in contact with water,it results in an exothermic reaction to give sodium hydroxide.
What happens when acidic ground water comes into contact with rock that contain calcium carbonate?
when acidic ground water comes in contact with rock that contains calcium carbonate the acidic water starts to dissolve the rock
What happens in rust?
when rust happens iron comes into contact with water and oxygen and rust forms
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve

Why is there water outside the glass of water?
This is due to condensation. When air comes in contact with the glass it condenses(this happens only when the water inside is cold).
What happens when water trapped underground comes into contact with hot magma?
The water will flash to steam, resulting in what is known as a phreatic eruption.
What happens in rust?
when rust happens iron comes into contact with water and oxygen and rust forms
What does lithium do in water?
Lithium floats one water because it is less dense (it has a density of 0.53 g/cm while water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3). On contact, however lithium an water react to form hydrogen gas and lithium hydroxide. The latter then dissolves in the remaining water.
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve
What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.
What happens when strontium and lithium go into water?
Strontium and lithium dissolves in water forming the corresponding hydroxide and liberating hydrogen. However the reaction is exothermic and may cause explosion / fire.
What Happens when Hydrofluoric acid solution is reacted with a lithium hydroxide solution?
You get a very violent reaction (so don't do this), and you're left with lithium fluoride and water.
What happens to a hurricane when it comes into contact with warm water?
A hurriccane can't form unless it is laready over warm water. If it moves over warmer water, the hurricane is likely to gains strength.
