Match each description below: a. Will react with water.
b. Will react with steam or acid, but not water.
c. Will react with acid only
d. Will not tract with water, steam, or acid.

1. Cr
2. Cu
3. K
d. Sn

a) will react with water: K

b) will react with steam or acid, but not water: Cr & Sn

d) will not react with water, steam, or acid: Cu

Explanation:

K reacts violently with water.

Cr will react with steam to form an oxide + H gas and will react with most acids

Sn will react with steam to form SnO₂ + H gas and, though it does not react as rapidly as other metals in acid, it dissolves easily in concentrated acids

Cu is an extremely nonreactive metal, which is what makes it so suitable for wiring

the dissociation of nickel hydroxide is follows:

the concentration of hydroxide ion is

the equilibrium constant value of nickel hydroxide is = 6.1 * 10^-^1^6 and thus equilibrium equation can be written as:

thus, concentration of ni is 0.23 * 10^-^4 mol /l
