Which was does not react with cold water Ca or Mg or Sr or Ba?

Mg does not react with cold water while Ca, Sr, and Ba react with cold water to form metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.


Which of the following statements is correct about alkali earth metals a. Liquid at room temperature c. React with water b. Do not react with water d. Are in a gaseous state at room temperature?

It is true that alkali earth elements (those in group 2) react with water. When reacting with water, they form the metallic hydroxide and hydrogen gas. An example might be Mg + 2H2O -->Mg(OH)2 + H2(g)


Which metals does not react with water?

Most metals do not react with water, especially at room temperature. It is easier to state which metals DO react with water. Those would be Li, K, Sr, Ca and Na. Those reacting with hot water (steam) would be Mg, Al, Zn and Cu. Most other metals do NOT react with water.


Magnesium and water?

Magnesium react only with water vapors:Mg (s) + 2H2O(g) = Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)


Did magnesium metal react with water to form a gas and an alkaline solution?

Yes, Mg will react with H2O according to this equation: Mg(s) + 2H2O(l) --> Mg(OH)2(aq) + H2(g).


What compounds can react with h2so4 to form a salt nacl caoh2 hf alcl3h2omgoh2?

NaOH can react with H2SO4 to form Na2SO4 and water. Ca(OH)2 can react with H2SO4 to form CaSO4 and water. HF can react with H2SO4 to form H2SO4 + HF -> H2O + SO3 + HF + HF, as well as AlCl3O2H2O can react with H2SO4 to form Al2(SO4)3 +H2O. Mg(OH)2 can react with H2SO4 to form MgSO4 and water.


Is Mg(OH)2 acid?

No, Mg(OH)2 is not an acid. It is a base, specifically a metal hydroxide compound. It can react with acids to form salts and water.


Can Mg react with chlorine with a colored flame?

no


Is H2O plus Mg a mixture?

No, H2O plus Mg does not form a mixture. Mixing water (H2O) with magnesium (Mg) would not result in a homogenous combination of substances. Instead, the magnesium would likely react with the water, producing magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2).


What happens when you boil Mg in water?

It gets really hot, but it cools off after a while. Magnesium doesn't react with water unless you set it on fire before you put it in.


Will magnesium sulfate react with magnesium?

No, magnesium sulfate will not react with magnesium because magnesium sulfate is a salt that dissolves in water to form magnesium ions and sulfate ions. Pure magnesium does not react with magnesium sulfate.


Does magnesium react with aluminium sulphate?

No.Mg is less reactive than aluminum,therefore mg solution will not react with aluminum metal.
