This chemical equation describes the reaction process between thallium metal (Tl) and water (H2O) to form thallium(III) oxide (Tl2O3) and hydrogen (H2).
- Reaction conditions:
For the reaction to occur, thallium needs to be in direct contact with water. The temperature needs to be increased to create favorable conditions for the reaction.
- Reaction process:
When thallium comes into contact with water, it reacts and forms thallium(III) oxide and hydrogen. Thallium(III) oxide is separated from the reaction while hydrogen is released in the form of gas.
- Phenomena occurring:
During the reaction process, you will see bubbles of hydrogen gas being created. This is because hydrogen is released from the reaction. Additionally, the solid form of thallium(III) oxide is also produced during the reaction.
