Solution
- Reaction of a metal with water.
- Hydrogen gas.
- Sodium and potassium metal react rapidly and vigorously with water and liberate hydrogen gas.
i. \[\ce{2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g) + Heat}\]
ii. \[\ce{2K(s) + 2H2O(l) -> 2KOH(aq) + H2(g) + Heat}\] - The metals: aluminium, iron and zinc.
- They react with steam to form their oxides. Hydrogen gas is released in this reaction.
i. \[\ce{2Al(s) + 3H2O(g) -> Al2O3(s) + 3H2(g)}\]
ii. \[\ce{2Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) -> Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g)}\]
iii. \[\ce{Zn(s) + H2O(g) -> ZnO(s) + H2(g)}\]
