Question

Explain the reaction of calcium with water and steam.

Answer 1

2K(s)+ 2H2O(l) → 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + heat.

Answer 2

Calcium react with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas...

During the process, much heat is generated that the hydrogen gas generated caught on fire and rapidly burns.2K(S)+2H20(1)=2KOH(aq)+ H2(9)+ heat...
