do all non-metal react with oxygen
Asked by surendra.suri | 5th May, 2020, 01:04: PM
Expert Answer:
Yes, non-metals reacts with oxygen to form oxide.
Non-metals react with oxygen (air) on heating to form their respective oxides. Most of these oxides are acidic in nature, and they turn moist red litmus paper blue and form salt and water with bases.
Non-metal + Oxygen → Non-metallic oxide
Example:
Carbon burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide.
C + O2 + Heat → CO2
Sulphur burns in oxygen to produce sulphur dioxide.
S + O2 + Heat → SO2

- i havea doubt in this equation which is likethis given below - i) Iron react with steam to form the metal oxide and hydrogen. 3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) → Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g) (1) why the there is Fe3O4 in the above equation and why not Fe2O3 (2)kindely explain me how we came to this equation (2)(a) What is the equation for the reaction of calcium and potassium in water? Calcium and potassium do not react with each other, but each decomposes water to make the relevant hydroxide with the release of hydrogen. Ca + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + H₂. 2K + 2H₂O → 2KOH + H₂.
