How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?
Chlorine doesn't explode when mixed with water. Pool water has chlorine in it. I think you meant sodium mixed with water, which does explode.
How do you quench n- butyl lithium?
Lithium + 1-chlorobutane ---> n-nuthyllithium + lithium chloride
How dense is lithium?
Denser than water. The density of Lithium is approxiametely 0.534g/cm3.
Is lithium iodide soluble in acetone?
Yes, to an extent of about one-fifth of the (high) solubility of lithium iodide in water.
Is lithium oxide a basic or acidic oxide?
Lithium oxide is a basic oxide: When it dissolves in pure water, the resulting solution has a pH value greater than 7.0.
Lithium Sodium and potassium do this when you added to water?
They explode and combust.
Is magnesium more reactive than lithium?
Lithium is more reactive to water than magnesium because while Lithium will explode and generally destroy the container it is in, magnesium will cause the water to violently bubble.
How does lithium react with cold water?
a chemical reaction occurs. a deadly chemical gas forms. friction is happening inside the mixture. it is becoming very hot. eventually that mixture will explode. it could take seconds or minutes depending upon how much of the mixture was put into place.
Which two metals explode in water?
Group 2 metals (alkaline earth metals), calcium and barium would be examples
How does carbon dioxide react with lithium?
lithium is a highly unstable element that reacts with air it can also explode!!!!!!!!
What element is to be more reactive lithium or neon?
Lithium by far, it is an alkali metal. Alkali metals are known to explode when they are placed in water (hydrogen gas is released). Nitrogen has two electrons to fill, and alkali metals have one electron to give off. Think of it as 2>1. Just know that lithium is more reactive than nitrogen.
What happens when ceasium reacts with water?
Ceasium will explode and create hydrogen gas and ceasium hydroxide. Ceasium react with water similary to other alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium)
Metal that bursts into flame when it reacts with water?
Potassium is the only metal (alkali metal) where a flame is present. Lithium and sodium fizz but there is no flame. Caesium, francium and rubidium all explode on contact with water.
What is the action of lithium on water?
Lithium react violent with water and lithium hydroxide and hydrogen are formed.
Can you put in lithium ion batteries in a camera that takes AA Alkaline batteries?
no if you do the camera can explode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why is lithium chloride insoluble in water?
You are misinformed, Lithium Chloride IS soluble in water.
How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?
Chlorine doesn't explode when mixed with water. Pool water has chlorine in it. I think you meant sodium mixed with water, which does explode.
