Question
Which among the following statements is incorrectfor magnesium metal?(a) It reacts with cold water to form magnesium oxide and evolves hydrogen gas(b) It burns in oxygen with a dazzling white flame(c) It reacts with steam to form magnesium hydroxide and evolves hydrogen gas.(d) It reacts with hot water to form magnesium hydroxide and evolves hydrogen gas
Solution
The incorrect statement for magnesium metal is:
(a) It reacts with cold water to form magnesium oxide and evolves hydrogen gas
This is incorrect because magnesium does not react with cold water. It only reacts with hot water or steam. The reaction with steam forms magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas, not with cold water.
