How does calcium and potassium react differently with water and why

Chemistry
1 answer:
tester [92]3 years ago
3 0
Calcium with water:
When a metal reacts with water( cold water or hot water) then the products formed are metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas.

Metal + steam --------> Metal hydroxide + Hydrogen

Calcium reacts with cold water to form calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:

potassium with water.

Potassium reacts violently with cold water to form potassium hydroxide and hydrogen gas:

2K(s)+ 2H2O(l) --------> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + heat.
In this reaction so much heat is produced get hydrogen gas formed catches fire and burns explosively.

What involves a metal and nonmetal ionic or covalent bond
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

An ionic bond is a type of chemical bond formed through an electrostatic attraction between two oppositely charged ions. Ionic bonds are formed between a cation, which is usually a metal, and an anion, which is usually a nonmetal. A covalent bond involves a pair of electrons being shared between atoms.

How many milliliters of a 1M nitric acid solution are required to prepare 60mL of 6.7M solution?
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

the number of milliliters of a 1M is 402mL

Explanation:

The computation of the number of milliliters could be determined by using the following formula

As we know that

V_1\times M_1 = V_2\times M_2

where,

V_1 and V_2 are the starting and final volumes

And, the M_1 and M_2 are the starting and the final molarities

Now the V_1 is

V_1 \times 1M = 60mL \times 6.7M

So, the V_1 is 402mL

Hence, the number of milliliters of a 1M is 402mL

How many grams of sodium oxide can be produced when 55.3 g Na react with 64.3 g O2?. . Unbalanced equation: Na + O2 → Na2O. . Sh
GenaCL600 [577]
 <span>this is a limiting reagent problem. 

first, balance the equation 
4Na+ O2 ---> 2Na2O 

use both the mass of Na and mass of O2 to figure out how much possible Na2O you could make. 
start with Na and go to grams of Na2O 

55.3 gNa x (1molNa/23.0gNa) x (2 molNa2O/4 molNa) x (62.0gNa2O/1molNa2O) = 75.5 gNa2O 

do the same with O2 

64.3 gO2 x (1 molO2/32.0gO2) x (2 molNa2O/1 mol O2) x (62.0gNa2O/1molNa2O) = 249.2 g Na2O 

now you must pick the least amount of Na2O for the one that you actually get in the reaction. This is because you have to have both reacts still present for a reaction to occur. So after the Na runs out when it makes 75.5 gNa2O with O2, the reaction stops. 

So, the mass of sodium oxide is 

75.5 g</span>
