Does magnesium react with water at ordinary temperature?

Yes, but very slowly.


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).


What reaction do you receive when mix potassium magnesium manganese and water?

When potassium, magnesium, and manganese are mixed with water separately, they will undergo different chemical reactions. Potassium will react vigorously with water, magnesium will react slowly to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, while manganese will not react with water under normal conditions.


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.


What is magnesium reactive with?

Magnesium is reactive with oxygen, water, and acids. It can react vigorously with oxygen to form magnesium oxide, with water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas, and with acids to form magnesium salts and hydrogen gas.


Can magnesium catch fire in cold water?

No, magnesium cannot catch fire in cold water. It reacts only slowly. And only briefly, too, as a film of magnesium hydroxide forms creating a barrier to further reaction.


What is a metal that reacts to salt water but does not react to fresh water?

Magnesium. I believe Magnesium does not react to fresh water but salt water is very corrosive and will disolve the metal.


The differences in the reactions of potassium magnesium and copper with water?

Potassium reacts vigorously with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming potassium hydroxide. Magnesium reacts slowly with water, liberating hydrogen gas and forming magnesium hydroxide. Copper does not react with water at room temperature due to its low reactivity with water molecules.


Does magnesium react with water?

When magnesium touches water it has a very small reaction hardly noticeable


What happens when a piece of magnesium is dropped into a beaker of hot water?

The magnesium reacts with the water to produce magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic, meaning it releases heat. The hydrogen gas can be collected and tested by igniting it to see its flammability.


Does water react with magnesium oxide?

Yes.


What is the metal that reacts slowly with cold water to form a hydroxide?

The metal that reacts slowly with cold water to form a hydroxide is magnesium. When magnesium reacts with water, it forms magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
