Best Answer

The alkali metals release hydrogen when in contact with water:

2 Na + 2 H2O -> 2 NaOH + H2

Water. When you put electrodes into water and pass a current, you produce hydrogen and oxygen gasses.

How is it possible then for water which is composed of hydrogen and to put out fires?

The bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen is too strong to be destroyed by combustion. Add: The chemical properties of water are different from the properties of hydrogen and water separately. Therefore, water does not support combustion as oxygen does, and water does not explode as hydrogen does.


Why is water formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen gases?

Water is H2O. 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Water is not formed when you mix hydrogen and oxygen. An explosive mixture of hydrogen and oxygen is formed. When you burn hydrogen in oxygen, the resulting compound is water. When you boil water the result is steam, or water vapor. Boiling does NOT separate the hydrogen and oxygen. An electrical current is needed to separate the hydrogen and oxygen. CAUTION: Do NOT put salt in the water to speed up the electrolysis of water. It changes the products. instead of hydrogen and oxygen, you get hydrogen, chlorine (gas), and sodium hydroxide. The last two are very poisonous.


Hydrogen is realesed when sodium reacts with water?

Yes, sodium is more reactive so sodium ions replace hydrogen ionsNa+ + H2O>H+ + NaOH +H2O


What happens if you put hydrogen peroxide with boiled water?

Depending on the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide, (if low enough) it will just decompose into water and oxygen gas. If the hydrogen peroxide is high enough in concentration it will just heat up and mix with the water (most likely the first will occur).


What happens if you put hydrogen in water?

Not much! Some of it, a tiny amount, might bond to the water molecules, but as water already has its standard H2O composition, most extra hydrogen will simply bubble out, hydrogen being lighter than water. For details and discussion of hydrogen bonding with water, see Related Links below these advertisements. The solubility of hydrogen gas in water at 0oC is 0.0019 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. At 60oC, the solubility is 0.0012 grams of hydrogen per kilogram of water. That is a tiny amount that will dissolve in the water. The rest would simply bubble out as the previous answerer said. Also, most likely, the water would be already saturated with hydrogen since it was in contact with the atmosphere, which contains hydrogen; so unless you took steps to purge the hydrogen from the water to get water not already saturated with hydrogen, all of the added hydrogen would bubble out since the water would be already saturated with hydrogen.

What happens when it is put in water potassium?

Potassium metal will react violently with water to form KOH and hydrogen gas. Due to the heat released by the reaction - the hydrogen gas will ignite. So: placing potassium in water will cause a fire!
