(1):-write equations for the reaction of. (a):-Iron with steam (b):-calcium with water
Answers
SOLUTION:
An equation for the reaction of: a) iron with steam
When a metal reacts with steam then the products formed are metal oxide and hydrogen gas.
Metal + steam --------> Metal oxide + Hydrogen
When red hot iron reacts with steam to form iron(II,III) oxide and hydrogen.
3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) steam -------> Fe3O4 (s) + 4H2(g)
b) calcium with water:
When a metal reacts with water( cold water or hot water) then the products formed are metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
Metal + steam --------> Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen
Calcium reacts with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:
Ca(s)+ 2H2O(l) --------> Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)
c) potassium with water.
Potassium reacts violently with cold water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:
2K(s)+ 2H2O(l) --------> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + heat.
In this reaction so much heat is produced get hydrogen gas formed catches fire and burns explosively.
