What metal is used in the reaction of metal and air?
Metals in the reactivity series from aluminium to copper react with oxygen in the air to form the metal oxide. Aluminium and Zinc reacts very quickly, Iron reacts slowly at room temperature. Tin, Lead and Copper reacts with Oxygen in air when heated. Silver, Gold and Platinum do not react with Oxygen in air
Does graphite react with oxygen or air?
Yes, graphite reacts with oxygen but not at room temperature. The temperature has to be quite high ;)
When oxygen in the air reacts with metal oxidation occurs and causes the metal to?
rust or tarnish
When a metal tarnishes it reacts with a gas in the air. What is the name of this gas?
Oxygen
Does a red apple age faster in room temperature air or in a bowl of room temperature water?
Room temperature air. The water keeps it fresher.

Is sodium a light metal?
Yes. Sodium is a light, alkali metal that oxidizes easily in air, and reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide (in an energetic reaction). It's density at room temperature is about 0.968 g/mL.
Does graphite react with oxygen or air?
Yes, graphite reacts with oxygen but not at room temperature. The temperature has to be quite high ;)
Is potassium a solid liquid or gas at room temperature?
It is a solid metal. Incredibly reactive in water.
What does lithium look like at room temperature?
Lithium is a shiny silver metal at room temperature. It is very soft and will oxidize quickly if exposed to air.
What happens to a diamond when it reaches 1405 degrees Fahrenheit?
Diamond is inert at room temperature and even it does not react with air but at 1405Fahrenheit it reacts with air so that it can be oxidized.
What gas is produced when metal reacts with air?
It depends which metal you are referring to.
What metal reacts in the air but slowly in the water?
copper
When oxygen in the air reacts with metal oxidation occurs and causes the metal to?
rust or tarnish
What state is lithium sulphide at room temperature?
Considering the question lithium sulphide is solid at room temperature. It's melting point is nearly 900-930 centigrade. But at room temperature it easily catches fire when exposed to air since it reacts violently with oxidising agents. It should be stored at an inert atmosphere.
When a metal tarnishes it reacts with a gas in the air. What is the name of this gas?
Oxygen
Does a red apple age faster in room temperature air or in a bowl of room temperature water?
Room temperature air. The water keeps it fresher.
