What happens when group 14 elements react with oxygen and water ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) With oxgen : When heated in air they form their respective monoxides and DIOXIDES . ex : `"" Si + O_(2) overset (Delta) to Si O_(2) (s)` `"" 2C +O_(2) overset (Delta) to 2CO(g)` `"" C+O_(2) overset (Delta) to CO_(2) (g)` (b ) With water : C, Si, GE do not react with water . However tin reacts with steam to form stannic oxideliberating hydrogen gas . `Sn + underset ("steam") (2H_(2) O) overset (Delta) to SnO_(2)+2H_(2(g))` |
