How does iron react with water?

A

Rusts

22
Q

How does copper react with water?

A

It doesn’t

23
Q

How do potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium react with oxygen?

A

Burn to produce white oxides

24
Q

What is the difference between combustion and burning?

A

combustion is heating and no flames are produced
in burning most of the energy is converted to light energy and this results in less heat energy as compared to combustion.

25
Q

A

Combust to produce oxides

26
Q

How do potassium, sodium, lithium react with acid?

A

N/A - too dangerous

27
Q

How do calcium, magnesium,zinc , iron react with acids?

A

They fizz and disappear

28
Q

How does copper react with acids?
