(i) Iron react with steam to form the metal oxide and hydrogen.
3Fe(s) + 4H2O(g) → Fe3O4(s) + 4H2(g)
(ii) The reaction of calcium with water is exothermic but the heat evolved...
[Hint : Because it have polymeric structure consisting chains of P4 tetrahedra, hence denser than white P while red P is not having angular strain as in white P, hence...
(b) White phosphorus exists as P4 tetrahedral molecule having P-P-P bond angle 60º. Hence the molecule is under strain and more reactive. On the other hand red phosphorus exists as...
