Q-00001514

Write the equations for the reactions of iron with steam and calcium and potassium with water.

1

Fe + H2O -> FeO + H2, Ca + H2O -> CaO + H2, K + H2O -> KOH + H2

2

Fe + H2O -> Fe3O4 + H2, Ca + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2, K + H2O -> KOH + H2

3

Fe + H2O -> Fe(OH)3 + H2, Ca + H2O -> CaO + H2, K + H2O -> KOH + H2

4

Fe + H2O -> Fe2O3 + H2, Ca + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2, K + H2O -> KOH + H2

Answer and Solution

Answer

B. Fe + H2O -> Fe3O4 + H2, Ca + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2, K + H2O -> KOH + H2

Solution:

The equations for the reactions are: Iron with steam - 3Fe + 4H2O -> Fe3O4 + 4H2, Calcium with water - Ca + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2, Potassium with water - 2K + 2H2O -> 2KOH + H2.
