Question

Alkaline earth metal reactive with hot water give complete balance equation

Answer 1

Alkaline Earth metals react with water vigorously. We need to understand that, the heavier the metal is, the more vigorous it reacts with water.

There are one set of metals which react only with hot water.

So,

Magnesium shows insignificant reaction with water, but burns vigorously with steam or water vapour to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas: Mg(s) + 2 H2O(g) ⟶ MgO(s) + H2(g)

Hope it helps

Thank you.
