Why metals are not react with hot water as well as cold water?
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 6 years, 1 month ago

Sodium metal reacts violently with water. The reaction is so violent and exothermic that the evolved hydrogen immediately catches fire. The reaction is:

2Na + H2O → 2NaOH + H2 + heat energy

ii. Hot water:

Magnesium reacts with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen. The reaction is:

Mg + 2H2O → Mg(OH)2 + H2

iii. Steam:

Aluminium does not react either with cold or hot water. It reacts with steam to form the aluminium oxide (Al2O3) and hydrogen. The reaction is:

2Al + 3H2O → Al2O3 + 3H2

Metals such as lead, copper, silver, and gold do not react with water at all.
