Which metal reacts quickly with cold water only when it is finely powdered?
I had the same quesiton on a worksheet in my Chemistry class .... "Which metal reacts quickly with when water when it is finely powdered?" The answer is Magnesium .
What gas is formed when a base reacts with an acid?
No gas. Acid + base --> salt + water only
Why copper reacts with nitric acid and not with HCl?
Copper is an inert metal and reacts with those acids only which have oxidizing ability as HNO3.
What happens when a base reacts with an acid?
the reaction which takes place when an acid reacts with a base is called neutralization reaction. For instance,if HCl reacts with NaOH, the products are NaCl and water. Neutralizing an acid with a base would always give salt and water as the only products.
What will happen when a base reacts with an acid?
the reaction which takes place when an acid reacts with a base is called neutralization reaction. For instance,if HCl reacts with NaOH, the products are NaCl and water. Neutralizing an acid with a base would always give salt and water as the only products.
When copper reacts with oxygen is the acid formed a acid or a base?
Cuprous and cupric oxide are base forming oxides, only nonmetals can have acidic oxides, though some other metal (amphoteric) oxides are also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides.
If calcium reacts with oxygen is the oxide formed an acid or base?
Calcium oxide is definitely a base forming oxide, only nonmetals can have acidic oxides, though some other metal (amphoteric) oxides are also (mainly weak) acid forming oxides.
Which affect metals base or acid?
Usually acids are known to affect metals. this rule applies for acid + metal reactions. An acid + a metal reacts to give a metal salt + hydrogen Eg: Zinc + Hydrochloric acid reacts to give zinc chloride + HydrogenThe above answer is correct, but should not be taken to mean that only acids affect metals. A concentrated solution of sodium hydroxide dissolves aluminum quite quickly.
Is copper2 chloride a ionic or covalent?
It is an ionic compound, because it is made up of a metal(copper) and a non-metal(Chlorine). Ionic compounds form only when a metal reacts with a non-metal.
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.
Is Mentos an acid or base?
yes it is a base
Which metal burns in air but only react very slowly with water?
Copper burns and reacts in the air to form copper oxide, however i htink it reacts very slowly with water. Hope that helped ;)
