What is the effect does water have on steel?
Think this through. What is the difference between sea water and freshwater? Salt. What does salt do? Rust or create buildups on metal. What types of metal? Several types including iron and steel.
Is salt water a good conductor?
good is relative. Salt water is a lot better than water or oil, but is never as good as a metal. Salt water is a good enough to conduct a small current with a battery.
Is the liquid bleach a metal?
No, it is a solution of sodium hypochlorite (a salt) in water.
Will the medal get rustier with salt water or Regular water?
Although metals might not get 'rustier' placing a metal in salt water will increase the speed that metals will rust. This is because salt water contains minerals ions (i.e. Na+, Cl-) that increase the reactivity of the metal rusting. Metals rust by losing electrons to a contact fluid, i.e. air or water. Because of the ions in salt water there is a greater potential difference between the electon charge in the metal and the solution. This creates a simple kind of battery where the electrons will travel from the metal to the solution.
What two substance are made in metal and acid reaction?
A metallic salt and water.
Word equations for metal reactions?
metal + acid -> salt + water metal + oxygen -> metal oxide metal oxide + acid -> salt + water metal + water -> metal hydroxide + hydrogen Metal + Steam -> Metal Oxide + Hydrogen Metal + Acid -> Metal salt + Hydrogen
Acid plus metal carbonate equals?
acid + metal carbonate--> Salt+ Carbon dioxide+ water
What is the word equation between acid and metal hydroxide?
acid+ metal oxide --> salt + water
Is sea water metal?
no, sea water is a mix of H2O, sand, salt and others. H2O (water) isn't a metal and salt isn't either
What is a metal that reacts to salt water but does not react to fresh water?
Magnesium. I believe Magnesium does not react to fresh water but salt water is very corrosive and will disolve the metal.
What happens when you mix an acid with a metal oxide?
Generally metal oxides are soluble in acids but this is not mandatory. A metal salt is obtained as a product and hydrogen also.
What Metal hydroxide plus acid?
Metal Hydroxide + Acid = Metal Salt + Water
What is the effect to water pipes when exposed to salt water?
Salt water cause corrosion on most metal pipes.
Does salt in sea water affect of metal?
yes and no. the water holds oxygen which rusts metal while the salt just makes the process faster
How do you prove that given salt is carbonate of a metal?
it can be tested in the following way- metal carbonate+acid=metal salt+carbon dioxide+water
These react with acids to make salt and water?
Insoluble metal oxide + strong acid ---> salt + water
How does salt water affect copper?
Salt water affects copper by causing corrosion. The non-oxidizing acids in the salt water break down the copper metal and in turn, the metal loses its color and begins to rust.
