(d) Iron has a tendency to get rusted in atmosphere by reacting with oxygen and water vapours present in air. In order to check rusting, iron articles are generally coated with zinc. This process is known as galvanization. This brings us to the end of the important questions and ...
Copper is a much better metal for water pipes because it does not react at all with water – perhaps plumbers should be renamed coppers! © Boardworks Ltd 2008 12 of 53 Reacting metals with water When any metal reacts with water, the products are a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. What...

Note: Lead does not react with sulphuric acid, that’s why the reaction takes place in the boiling solution. Lead on reacting with 2 moles of HSO4, forms lead sulphate (II), sulphur dioxide with the release of water. Single displacement reaction between metals: The high-ranking metals on ...
All metals that are found above hydrogen in the activity series liberate H2 gas upon reacting with dilute HCl or dilute H2SO4. Metals that are placed higher on the reactivity series have the ability to displace metals that are placed lower from their salt solutions. Higher ranking metals requir...
Treatment of tritium-loaded alkali metals involves reacting the alkali metal with water or steam and catalytically oxidizing the resulting hydrogen and tritium to produce water and tritiated water, which are processed without being discharged into the environment. An independent claim is also included ...
