उत्तर
An element reacts with oxygen to give a compound with a high melting point. This compound is also soluble in water. The element is likely to be calcium.
Explanation:
Calcium (Ca) combines with oxygen to form calcium oxide (CaO), which has a very high melting point. It dissolves in water to form Calcium hydroxide.
\[\ce{2Ca + O2 -> 2CaO}\]
\[\ce{CaO + H2O -> \underset{(soluble)}{\underset{Calcium hydroxide}{Ca(OH)2}}}\]
