30 cze 2023 · All of Group 1 elements —lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and cesium react vigorously or even explosively with cold water. In each case, the aqueous metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas are produced, as shown: 2X(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2XOH(aq) +H2(g) 2 X (s) + 2 H 2 O (l) → 2 XOH (aq) + H 2 (g) where X X is any Group 1 metal.
30 cze 2023 · Group 1 elements are called alkali metals because of their ability to displace H 2 (g) from water and create a basic solution. Alkali metals are also known to react violently and explosively with water.
All alkali metals react with hydrogen at high temperatures to produce the corresponding hydrides, and all reduce water to produce hydrogen gas. Alkali metal salts are prepared by reacting a metal hydroxide with an acid, followed by evaporation of the water. Both Li and Na salts are used as drying agents, compounds that are used to absorb water.
All the alkali metals react with water, with the heavier alkali metals reacting more vigorously than the lighter ones.
For example, for sodium forming a sodium ion: Na → Na + + e –. The gain of oxygen, or loss of electrons, by a substance during a chemical reaction. A chemical element that is odourless,...
For example, sodium reacts with water: sodium + water → sodium hydroxide + hydrogen. 2Na (s) + 2H 2 O (l) → 2NaOH (aq) + H 2 (g) It is a. This solution: pH Scale of acidity or alkalinity. A...
