calcium metal dissolves in water because as it gets put in the water, the calcium quickly bonds with the oxygen atom in H2O. so it leaves that with hydrogen, therefore, hydrogen is produced when calcium dissolves in water

Is calcium metal more or less dense than water?
Calcium metal is more dense than water. If you had a block of calcium and dropped it in a container of water, it would sink. Note! Calcium reacts with water! Calcium metal is stored in a container beneath kerosene or another liquid to isolate the metal from air. Calcium will chemically react with the moisture in air and will thus be decomposed.
What is net ionic equation when calcium iodide dissolves in water?
CaI2 --> Ca2+ + 2I-
Calcium phosphate stored in soil and rock dissolves in water as part of the?
Phosphorus cycle
What gas is given off when calcium is mixed with water?
The calcium metal will react with the water to form calcium oxide and give off Hydrogen gas.
Is calcium carbonate a metal?
No, it is not. Calcium is a metal but calcium carbonate is not.
What substances are produce when calcium metal dissolves in water?
Calcium hydroxide and hydrogen.
Is calcium carbonate a solute?
Calcium carbonate weakly dissolves in water.
What sort of chemicals are calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate?
Calcium hydroxide is an ionically bonded compound that dissolves in water to form a strong alkali; calcium carbonate is an ionically bonded compound that dissolves in water to form a weakly alkaline solution.
What is net ionic equation when solid calcium iodide dissolves in water?
Ca(OH)2_ calcium hydroxide

What happens to a solution when a metal dissolves in water?
the solution becomes basic
When calcium chloride (CaCl2) dissolves in water will the solution be an electrolyte or nonelectrolyte solution?
This solution is an electrolyte.
What gas is given off when calcium is mixed with water?
The calcium metal will react with the water to form calcium oxide and give off Hydrogen gas.
Calcium dissolves fast in which liquid?
no
