Write Equations for the Reactions (i) Iron with Steam (ii) Calcium and Water

Q2. Write Equations for the Reactions (i) Iron with Steam (ii) Calcium and Water

(i) Iron with Steam

When iron reacts with steam, it forms iron oxide and hydrogen gas. It’s like iron getting a steam bath and coming out with a new look!

3Fe+4H2O→Fe3O4+4H2

(ii) Calcium and Water

When calcium reacts with water, it forms calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is like making a fizzy drink, but instead of bubbles in your soda, you get bubbles of hydrogen gas!

Ca+2H2O→Ca(OH)2+H2
