Barium metal reacts with water to produce barium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, according to the following equation: Ba(s) + 2 H2O(l) -> Ba2+(aq) + 2 OH-(aq) + H2(g) Some metals react with dilute acids, such as sulfuric acid, produsing a salt solution and hydrogen gas. However, if barium metal is added to water a layer of insolube barium sulfate forms at the surface, according to the equation: Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) -> BaSO4(s) As an aside, calcium behaves in a similar manner. If you don;t have ready access to calcium metal, then this can be observed by placing an egg into quite dilute solutions of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids. In hydrochloric acid, the egg shell (mostly calcium carbonate) is removed. However, in sulfuric acid the reactions does not proceed due to the formation of insoluble calcium sulfate at the surface of the egg shell.

∙ 11y agoThe distance between the nucleus and the outer electrons is further so threfore it is easoer to loose the outer 2 electrons than Calcium.

What is more reactive calcium or more reactive?
Calcium is more reactive but not as Potassium or Sodium because according to the displacement series Calcium comes as third and the last under the reactive elements of the displacement series.
Does calcium and barium have similar or different reactivities?
Calcium and barium have similar reactivities, because they are both alkaline earth metals. Quantitatively, barium is slightly more reactive than calcium because it has more electron shells between its valence electrons and its nucleus.
Which is more reactive barium or cesium?
if you mean pure barium as in barium metal then yes it is very reactive if you left a piece of it out in the open air over night it would turn to a pile of white barium oxide and other various compounds
Calcium or bromine which is more reactive?
I believe its Calcium, because it is in group 2, and Bromine is not in group one or two, making Calcium more reactive.
What happens when calcium oxide reacts with iron?
Iron will react with calcium oxide as iron is more reactive than calcium, therefore calcium (which is the more reactive metal) will displace calcium (the less reactive metal) to form a compound. This is called a displacement reaction.
What is more reactive calcium or more reactive?
Calcium is more reactive but not as Potassium or Sodium because according to the displacement series Calcium comes as third and the last under the reactive elements of the displacement series.
Is barium more reactive than calcium?
Yes, because it is lower down in the group.
Does calcium and barium have similar or different reactivities?
Calcium and barium have similar reactivities, because they are both alkaline earth metals. Quantitatively, barium is slightly more reactive than calcium because it has more electron shells between its valence electrons and its nucleus.
Which element is more reactive than aluminum?
Many are thereSuch as Sodium, Potassium, Barium, Calcium, Magnesiumetc.
Which is more reactive barium magnesium or beryllium?
Ba; Barium
Which is more reactive barium or cesium?
if you mean pure barium as in barium metal then yes it is very reactive if you left a piece of it out in the open air over night it would turn to a pile of white barium oxide and other various compounds
Is calcium more reactive than strontium?
No, strontium is more reactive than calcium.
Is calcium sulfide more or less reactive to aluminum?
Chemistry of calcium Calcium is generally more reactive than magnesium
Which is more reactive calcium or xenon?
Calcium.
Are magnesium and calcium more reactive with oxygen in the air than is aluminum?
calcium and mg are more reactive
Calcium or bromine which is more reactive?
I believe its Calcium, because it is in group 2, and Bromine is not in group one or two, making Calcium more reactive.
Is calcium more reactive than aluminium?
yes. because calcium is almost never found in nature due to its high reactivity with water, but we can find copper metal in nature.
