What would react more vigorously with water strontium or calcium?

Strontium. They both have two electrons in their outermost energy level, however since the electrons are farther from the nucleus in Strontium than in Calcium, Strontium is more readily able to shed these two electrons to achieve a more stable state with it's outermost energy level being complete (with 8 electrons).

Can strontium chloride dissolve in water?
Strontium hydroxides soluble at higher temperatures, where it forms a strong alkaline solution by completely dissociating in addition to dissolving (not the same thing).
What is the measurement of the amount of calcium and magnesium which water contains?
The amount of calcium and magnesium in water determines its hardness.
How many water molecules are bound per formula unit of strontium chloride?
there are six bounds
Find the mass of water driven off when 1.252g of strontium chloride hexahydrate is decomposed by heating?
0.5077g
Reaction between strontium carbonate and sulfuric acid?
The products of this reaction are strontium chloride, carbon dioxide and water.
Does calcium react in acid?
Yes. Calcium will react vigorously with acid and even water.
How does calcium react in water?
Yes. Calcium reacts vigorously with water producing hydrogen and calcium hydroxide.
What will react with water?
At least all the alkali metals, calcium, strontium, barium, fluorine, chlorine, and bromine.
Does cold water have more calcium in it than warm water?
The solubility increase with the temperature, consequently the concentratiom is greater in warm water: but for calcium hydrogen carbonate and calcium carbonate the difference is not important.
Which metals react slowly with cold water but vigorously with steam?
All metals, if they do react with water at all, react faster in steam than in water. However, the metals that react SLOWLY with cold water are the metals from Group-IIA(Magnesium, Calcium, etc).
Why is calcium never used to make kitchen sinks?
Because calcium metal (element( will react with water and oxygen(air). Similar, but less vigorously, than sodium.
What metal reacts with water to give a solution which forms a white precipitate with carbon dioxide?
Calcium. It reacts with water to form a solution of calcium hydroxide which can then react with carbon dioxide to form calcium carbonate, a white precipitate. You will get similar results with strontium and barium.
What happens when uranium and strontium get wet?
Uranium don't react with water at room temperature; strontium react with water and the hydroxide Sr(OH)2 is formed.
Does water react with alkali metals vigorously?
Yes
What does lithium react with?
Lithium reacts vigorously (but not violently) with water.
Is there any extremely powerful military explosives that react to a large or small amount of water?
In general, miltary explosives are very water tolerant, and do not react with water. Ammonium nitrate is used for some military engineering work, and is very soluble in water- but does not have a violent reaction. Sodium, potassium and calcium carbide WILL react vigorously.
What happens when calcium is added in water?
Calcium will react vigorously with water to produce calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The equation is: Ca + 2H2O --> Ca(OH)2 + H2. This reaction is exothermic, therefore it produces heat.
