Answer» (d) Reaction of aluminium metal with water:Reaction of aluminium metal with cold water is too slow to come into notice. But when steam is passed over aluminium metal; aluminium oxide and hydrogen gas are produced. 2Al + 3H2O ⇨ Al2O3+ 2H2 Reaction of zinc metal with water:Zinc metal produces zinc oxide and hydrogen gas when steam is passed over it. Zinc does not react with cold water. Zn + H2O ⇨ ZnO + H2 Reaction of Iron with water:Reaction of iron with cold water is very slow and come into notice after a long time. Iron forms rust (iron oxide) when reacts with moisture present in atmosphere. Iron oxide and hydrogen gas are formed by passing of steam over iron metal. 3Fe + 4H2O ⇨ Fe3O4+ 4H2 |
