What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Which metal reacts quickly with cold water only when it is finely powdered?
Sodium is a metal that reacts quickly with cold water only when it is finely powdered. When the surface area of the sodium is increased by grinding it into a fine powder, it can react with the water at a faster rate due to the increased contact between the metal and the water molecules.
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.
What gas is formed when a base reacts with an acid?
No gas. Acid + base --> salt + water only
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 ;)
What metal burns in air but only reacts slowly in water?
It depends what you mean by slowly! Calcium burns in air and reacts fairly quietly with water, certainly much more slowly than the alkali metals do.
Why is brazing better than welding?
Welding would melt the base metal and filler metal while brazzing only melts the filler metal.
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.
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.
