What else can I help you with?
Would you name some metals that react with acids?
Some of these metals are: Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, Sodium, Potassium, ...
Why are the alkali metals never used as a structural material?
Alkali metals tend to react quite violently with water, so if it rained any structure built out of them would be destroyed.
Lithium sodium and potassium all react violently with water knowing this and looking at the periodic table would you expect cesium to react violently with water as well explain why or why not?
Yes, cesium is expected to react violently with water. This is because cesium belongs to the same group (alkali metals) in the periodic table as lithium, sodium, and potassium, which are known to react violently with water due to their highly reactive nature and tendency to form alkaline hydroxides and release hydrogen gas.
Why don't carbonic acids react with metals?
Carbonic acid does react with metals as similar to the other acids. But in nature, carbonic acid molecule is unstable. It has an equilibrium where carbonic acid dissociates into a water molecule and a carbon dioxide molecule.
Which metal and acid would react together to give off oxygen?
Most metals react with acids to give off hydrogen. Only very nonreactive metals, like gold and platinum do not react with metals. An example would be: Calcium + Hydrochloric Acid = Calcium chloride + Hydrogen gas (Ca +2 HCl = CaCl2 + H2)
Which group of elements reacts violent with elements in group 1?
Francium would react most violently with hydrochloric acid but all of them would react violently. Cesium and Rubidium would certainly react explosively. Potassium would be very violent and catch fire. Sodium would be quite violent.
Why are potassium sodium and lithium stored in a jar of oil and not in an empty jar?
Potassium, sodium, and lithium will rapidly react with air, ruining the sample and will react violently with water, creating a fire hazard. The oil keeps the metals out of contact with air and moisture.
Would you expect longium to react with dilute acid?
What is Longium? Please clarify. Longium does not appear in Periodic Table.
Which metals does not react with water?
Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.
Is magnesium inert?
Magnesium rapidly combines with many different elements, and violently reacts with hydrogen chloride. The last word I would use to describe it is inert.Look to the right side of the periodic table for gases and elements that are inert.
What elements would react similarly to potassium?
Elements in the same group as potassium, such as sodium and lithium, would react similarly due to their similar outer electron configurations. These elements are all alkali metals and exhibit similar reactivity characteristics, such as forming ionic compounds easily and reacting violently with water.
Would sodium react with acid?
Sodium would react with every acids. As it is a very active metal, it would explosively react with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Even sodium will show a quick reaction with weak organic acids.
