Answer:
Solid Osmium transition metal reacts with Oxygen gas to produce solid Osmium tetroxide.
Os(s) + 2O₂(g) -> OsO₄(s)
Explanation:
Osmium tetroxide is another way of writing Osmium (VIII) oxide.
Leaving powdered osmium exposed to air in a room will slowly create osmium tetroxide at room temperature.
Similarly, osmium tetroxide vapor will readily be released from a liquid solution at room temperature.
Well you didn’t post any but I’m hoping that either plastic, lead, wood, glass, or paper, are an option.
Equation for the standard formation of solid sodium orthosilicate:
4 Na(s) + Si(s) + 2 O₂(g) → Na₄SiO₄(s)
potassium belongs to group IA of the periodic table.
