Question

Q.1: What happens if aluminium reacts with steam? Show the chemical equation involved.
Q2: Why the reaction of sodium with water is so violent?​

Answer 1

Answer:

When steam is passed over aluminium , aluminium reacts with steam to form aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas.

Explanation:

Its single outer electron makes the metal highly reactive and ready to combine with others at the first opportunity – such as the moment the metal hits water. According to the textbooks, these reactive electrons rip apart the surrounding water molecules to release hydrogen gas and heat.
