What are the products of the reaction between active metals and water?

The products of the reaction between alkali metals and water are a hydroxide and hydrogen:2 Na + 2 H2O = 2 NaOH + H2


When metals are taken as micronutrients don't they react with water in the body?

Metals taken as micronutrients, in the body are dissolved in water; it is not a chemical reaction.


Which Reaction is taking place when metals reacts slowly with air or water?

corrosion?


What is the reaction of water with alkalimateals?

Alkali metals are famous for their vigorous reactions with water, and these reactions become increasingly violent as one moves down the group. The Reaction of Alklali metals as folow: Alkali metal + water → Alkali metal hydroxide + hydrogen gas


What are the reactions with alkali metals and water like?

1) Alkali metals are stored in oil to minimise reaction with oxygen or water, it's a physical barrier towards air but the alkali metals still gradually corrode a traces of oxygen and water diffuse through. The reaction of alkali metals with water gets more violent for elements lower in the group e.g. (Li < Na < K < Rb < Cs). Adding them to water will cause an explosion due to the extremely exothermic nature of reaction, and can be rather dangerous and some alkali metals can react violently with just moisture in the air. Most of the alkali metals float on the top of the water, depending on how big the alkali metal is determines the size of the reaction this is because they're less dense that water itself and also during the reaction the alkali metals give of hydrogen gas which is quite flammable. Alkali Metal + Water » Metallic Hydroxide + Hydrogen The francium would be like any other alkali metal, it would be very violent like the other alkali metals.


What types of reactions would be most useful in characterizing the alkali metals?

For example the reaction with water.


Does silver react with water, and if so, what is the nature of the reaction between silver and water?

Yes, silver does react with water, but the reaction is slow. Silver reacts with water to form silver oxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is not as vigorous as with other metals like sodium or potassium.


What metals react with acids not water?

Metals such as zinc, aluminum, and iron can react with acids but not with water. When these metals react with acids, they undergo a chemical reaction that produces hydrogen gas and a salt. In contrast, these metals do not react with water to produce hydrogen gas.


Do acids react with metals to form water?

NOPE! Hope you get through the horrible experience which is quest!


Do alkali earth metals react with water?

Yes. Explosively. They will react to produce a metal hydroxide, hydrogen gas, and a bunch of heat. Here's the equation for sodium (Na, #11) reacting with water: 2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2 The reaction is violently exothermic to the point where the hydrogen gas ignites and explodes, which itself is a separate reaction: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O


Why do alkali metals explode in water?

Alkali metals explode in water because they react violently with the water, releasing hydrogen gas and heat. This reaction is highly exothermic and can lead to an explosion due to the rapid release of energy.


A sample of hydrogen gas is generated from a...?

Hydrogen can by generated, for example, from the reaction between alkali metals and water.
