What happens when calcium oxide reacts with iron?

Iron will react with calcium oxide as iron is more reactive than calcium, therefore calcium (which is the more reactive metal) will displace calcium (the less reactive metal) to form a compound. This is called a displacement reaction.


Is calcium metal more or less dense than water?

Calcium metal is more dense than water. If you had a block of calcium and dropped it in a container of water, it would sink. Note! Calcium reacts with water! Calcium metal is stored in a container beneath kerosene or another liquid to isolate the metal from air. Calcium will chemically react with the moisture in air and will thus be decomposed.


Does cold water have more calcium in it than warm water?

The solubility increase with the temperature, consequently the concentratiom is greater in warm water: but for calcium hydrogen carbonate and calcium carbonate the difference is not important.


How does the metal magnesium differ from the metal calcium in their reaction with water?

Calcium reacts more easily with water than does magnesium, because calcium donates electrons to other elements more readily than magnesium, as expected for a larger atom in the same periodic table column on the left side of a wide form periodic table.


What metal burns in air but only reacts slowly in water?

It depends what you mean by slowly! Calcium burns in air and reacts fairly quietly with water, certainly much more slowly than the alkali metals do.


When we add calcium tablets in water they react to produce bubbles. Why does this happen?

"Calcium tablets" is a bit vague. If you put calcium metal in water it will form bubbles as the calcium reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas (the bubbles). If you put tablets of some calcium salt in water ... you'd need to be more specific about what it is for us to answer the question.


How is the properties of water glycerol and oil compaired to the properties of the liquid in radiators?

The more vigorously they oscillate, the more energy they have, the hotter the metal (more heat). If the metal is heated too much, the atoms oscillate too vigorously to stay at their fixed positions hope this helps :-)


Does zinc react with calcium sulphate?

Yes, zinc reacts with calcium sulphate . It reacts to produce zinc sulphate and calcium.


Why is a chemical reaction created between calcium and water?

Calcium is not found as the metal in nature. It prefers to be a compound. Nature abhors energy and always tries to minimize it. That is why iron and steel rust. Nature prefers iron to be lower energy- rust. In the same way, calcium is far lower energy and far more stable as calcium hydroxide than calcium metal. So calcium reacts with water because it is so energetically favorable. Ca + 2H2O -------> Ca(OH)2 + H2


What metal is more reactive sodium or calcium?

sodium


What is the metal that burns more vigorously in air than iron?

Berylium because it has a higher reactivity rate.


Is calcium nitride a ionic or molecular?

Ionic. Covalent compounds are between 2 or more non metals. Ionic are between a metal and a non metal. Calcium is a METAL.
