1
New cards

potassium with cold water

reacts very violently

enough heat is produced to cause h2 gas catch fire and explode

2
New cards

sodium with cold water

reacts violently

h2 gas may catch fire and explode

3
New cards

calcium with cold water

reacts readily

4
New cards

magnesium with cold water

reacts very slowly

a test tube of h2 gas may be produced a only after a few days

5
New cards

zinc with cold water

no reaction occurs

6
New cards

iron with cold water

no reaction occurs

7
New cards

lead / copper / silver with cold water

no reaction occurs

8
New cards

potassium with steam

reacts explosively

9
New cards

sodium with steam

reacts explosively

10
New cards

calcium with steam

reacts explosively

11
New cards

magnesium with steam

hot mg reacts violently

mg oxide produced is a white solid

a bright white glow is produced during the reaction

12
New cards

zinc with steam

hot zn reacts readily

zn oxide produced is yellow when hot and white when cold

13
New cards

iron with steam

red hot iron reacts slowly

iron must be constantly heated for the reaction to take place

reaction is reversible

14
New cards

lead / copper / silver with steam

no reaction occurs

15
New cards

potassium with dilute hcl

reacts explosively

16
New cards

sodium with dilute hcl

reacts explosively

17
New cards

calcium with dilute hcl

reacts violently

18
New cards

magnesium with dilute hcl

reacts rapidly

19
New cards

zinc with dilute hcl

reacts moderately fast

20
New cards

iron with dilute hcl

reacts slowly

21
New cards

lead with dilute hcl

no reaction occurs

although lead is more reactive than hydrogen, at the start of the reaction, an insoluble layer of lead chloride forms on the surface of lead, preventing reaction from taking place

22
New cards

copper / silver with dilute hcl

no reaction occurs
