Illustrate balanced chemical equations the reactions of water as described below. 1. Water reacts with metals. a. Potassium, sodium, and calcium react similarly with water, producing metal hydroxides and liberating hydrogen gas, but they differ in the intensity or vigorousness of their reactions
Illustrate balanced chemical equations the reactions of water as described below.
1. Water reacts with metals.
a. Potassium, sodium, and calcium react similarly with water, producing metal hydroxides and liberating hydrogen gas, but they differ in the intensity or vigorousness of their reactions.
b. Aluminum, zinc, and iron react with steam at high temperature, forming hydrogen and metallic oxides.
2. Water reacts with nonmetals. The element fluorine reacts violently with cold water, producing hydrogen fluoride and free oxygen.
3. Water reacts with metallic oxides. Soluble oxides like CaO and Na2O react with water to form hydroxides.
4. Water reacts with nonmetallic oxides. CO2, SO2, and N2O5 react of water as described above.
