Which metals don't react with water but react with oxygen?
Beryllium is the only alkaline metal that reacts to oxygen but not to water. The hydrogen in water stabilizes the reaction.
Is reacting a metal with water the same a reacting it with oxygen?
Not all metals react with water, but some, such as metallic sodium, do react quite vigorously with water. In a sense it is true that when metals react with water it is the same as reacting with oxygen, because the water molecule (H2O) does contain oxygen, and it is the oxygen in the water molecule with which metals react. Metals do not react with the hydrogen content of the water molecule, so when metal reacts with water, hydrogen gas is produced as a byproduct. It just bubbles out of the water.
Name a metal that does not react with water but does react with acid?
gold not reacts with water but reacts with Aqua regia HCl(3) : HNO3 (1)
Does hydrogen reacts with oxygen and water?
Hydrogen and oxygen react with each other to create water.
What metal will react with oxygen but not water?
Metal reacting with oxygen is known as oxidation. A common form of this process is found in the rusting of iron, where the iron reacts with oxygen to form iron oxide (known as rust).
What chemicals can heat water when added to it?
You want something that reacts with water and is exothermic. An example would be an alkali metal (such as sodium), or perhaps oxygen salts that react with water
What metals dont react with acid oxygen or water?
A metal that does not react to acid, oxygen or water does not exist.
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.
When a metal reacts with water what are the products of the reactions?
when metals react with water they form hydroxides
Do react with oxygen?
Yes, oxygen is in water. Water and metal create rust.
What happens when metal reacts with metal?
Alkali metals reacts violently with water forming a hydroxide and hydrogen; alkali earth metals react with water but no so violent.Other metals doesn't generally react with water at room temperature.
What happen when iron react with oxygen and water?
When iron reacts with oxygen and water, the chemical reaction that forms is known as rust. This is considered to be corrosive for most metal elements.
