An explosive reaction.
Francium reacts very vigorously with water, producing francium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction occurs because francium is an alkali metal and easily loses its outer electron when in contact with water, releasing energy in the form of heat and causing the explosion-like reaction.
After a violent reaction the francium hydroxide should be formed.
The chemical formula for francium mixed with water is Fr + H2O → FrOH + H2 (francium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced). Francium is a highly reactive alkali metal and would react violently with water to form francium hydroxide. However, francium is extremely rare and unstable, so this reaction has never been observed on a large scale.
Very probable the reaction of francium should be more violent.
The general reaction is:2 Me + 2 H2O = 2 MeOH + H2where Me is an alkali metal.Very probable francium react violent with water.
Francium would react with water by this equation: 2Fr + 2H2O -->2FrOH + H2 The products here are francium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. However, it would be impossible to gather enough francium to demonstrate this reaction.
In reaction with water and oxygen Fr is more reactive than Cs
2Fr + 2H2O -----> 2FrOH + H2 However, francium decays too quickly to exist in nature. A brilliant video for the alkali metals (except francium), can be found in related links
No. Francium is a Group I element, and it is extremely reactive ... explosively with water ... more than potassium and sodium. It will be oxidized of one electron.
Very probable, after a violent reaction the hydroxide FrOH should be formed.
Francium is a highly reactive alkali metal that readily reacts with acids to produce francium salts and hydrogen gas. The reaction is very vigorous and can be explosive due to francium's extreme reactivity. Francium's scarcity and radioactivity make studying its reactions challenging.
As other alkali metals francium can react with water; but unfortunately we don't have francium for this experiment !
