प्रश्न
What is the action of water on magnesium? Write equations of the chemical reactions involved.

उत्तर
Magnesium metal does not react with cold water. Magnesium reacts with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen.
\[\ce{\underset{Magnesium}{Mg_{(s)}} + \underset{(Hot)}{\underset{Water}{2H2O_{(l)}}} -> \underset{Magnesium hydroxide}{Mg(OH)2_{(aq)}} + \underset{Hydrogen}{H2_{(g)}}}\]
Magnesium reacts very rapidly with steam to form magnesium oxide and hydrogen.
\[\ce{\underset{Magnesium}{Mg_{(s)}} + \underset{Steam}{H2O_{(g)}} -> \underset{Magnesium oxide}{MgO_{(s)}} + \underset{Hydrogen}{H2_{(g)}}}\]
