23. Which metals react with water in the form of steam?a) Ironb) Zincc) Aluminium Ld AtT of these

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
