What reacts quickly with water and acids?

Reactive metals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium react quickly with water to produce hydrogen gas. Strong acids like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid also react quickly with metals to produce metal salts and hydrogen gas.


Which element reacts when it comes into contact with dilute acid?

All the metals above Hydrogen in electro chemical series as K,Na,Ca,Mg,Fe e.t.c when react with dilute acids produce hydrogen gas.


Which metals react with water to form hydrogen?

Alkali metals: Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr.


Are metals Na and K inactive or active?

K is potassium. Na is sodium. They are both akali metals which react violently with water. I actually did a project on potassium. I sadly actually don't know what inactive and active means.


What does Li Na and K have in common?

Lithium, sodium and potassium are all group I elements. They are also called alkali metals. They react violently with water to form strongly alkaline solutions. The elements, as we descend the group in the periodic table, become increasingly reactive.Li Na K are alkali metals. They are present in group-1. They have one valence electron.All of these elements are located in group 1 of the periodic table. Each of these elements are highly reactive metals. They react with acids to produce salts. All of these are good conductors of electricity and heat.Li,Na and K are in the 1st group of the periodic table. They are alkaline metals. They all have a valency of 1.


What is aprote?

Are cations that cannot donate or accept protons and so they are neither acids or bases (e.g. Na+, K+, Ca++, Mg++) .


Why diclofenac k is faster than diclofenac Na?

Diclofenac K and diclofenac Na differ in their salt forms, with diclofenac K being in a potassium salt form while diclofenac Na is in a sodium salt form. The potassium salt form of diclofenac K is absorbed more rapidly in the gastrointestinal tract compared to the sodium salt form of diclofenac Na, leading to faster onset of action.


Are the elements Na and K the same are different?

No they are absolutely not. Na is sodium and K is potassium they have different numbers of protons sodium having 11 and potassium having 19 therefore they are different elements. but because they have one outstanding electron on the last row they react similarly.


What are the metals kept under a paraffin?

Li (Lithium), Na (Sodium), K (potassium). They are highly reactive - they react violently with water and also react with oxygen.


What prevents the Na plus and K plus gradients from dissipating?

Na+-K+ ATPase


Where you get the symbols K and Na?

K= Kallium ( Greek, I think ) Na= Naturium, which is Latin.


Metals can be stored in what?

All of the 1st group metals (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Fr) because they react with the air and many other things.
