Detailed information about the equation Fe + 2H2O -> Fe(OH)2 + H2:
-
Reaction conditions:
- This reaction usually occurs when iron comes into contact with water at high temperatures (around 700-900 degrees Celsius).
-
Reaction process:
- When heated iron comes into contact with water, it is oxidized to iron(II) hydroxide and simultaneously releases hydrogen gas.
-
Phenomena that occur:
- When heated iron comes into contact with water, a glowing phenomenon will occur, accompanied by the release of hydrogen gas. You can see a green solid (iron(II) hydroxide) precipitate.
