Want this question answered?
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.
they are metals
Group 2 metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Rn) have two electrons in their valence shell.
Examples: Ca, Mg, Ba, Sr, Ra, etc.
CaCl2 (aq) + 2NaOH(aq) = Ca(OH)2(s) + 2NaCl(aq) Calcium hydroxide is produced commercially by treating lime with water:
Ca + 2 H2O ------> Ca(OH)2 + H2 so 2 moles of calcium react with 4 moles of water.
C2H2 and Ca(OH)2
There should not be a reaction being that usually elements do not react with their nitrates. But if the calcium nitrate solution was acqueous (water), the calcium will react with the water and as I found in my class, turned black and appeared to react. It does not react with the nitrate but the solution's water.

Yes they do. The group goes Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ra
Ca Calcium. Just did a chem test now, got it right.
Barium(Ba)
they are metals
Barium (Ba) and calcium (Ca) are both metals, belonging to alkaline earth metals or group 2.
Calcium and water react to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen. Ca + 2H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + H2

When borax is added to hard water elements like Mg and Ca react with borax and come out of water and water becomes soft
