Firstly, the chemical equation between the calcium metal and water will be:  

Ca(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)  

We can see from the equation the bubbles of hydrogen gas which are formed during the reaction stick to the surface of the metal and hence calcium floats on water.  

The other metal that will float on the water during the reaction is magnesium which have the same chemical behavior like calcium, we can illustrate that by the chemical equation:

Mg(s) + 2 H₂O(l) → Mg(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

Travka [436]
The outer planets are <span>Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune while the inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and  Mars. The outer planets have more moons than the inner planets because these planets are much larger than the inner ones.

What happens when you heat iodine and ammonium chloride?
DiKsa [7]
Test tube of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) being heated over a bunsen burner flame. Ammonium chloride decomposes readily when heated, but condenses in the cooler area at the top of the test tube. This is a reversible reaction, where the ammonium chloride decomposes into the gases ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
