2 SPM 2008/P3/Q2
The three statements below describe the observation made when three elements react
with water. The elements are in Group 1 of the Periodic Table of elements.
Statement 1
Lithium, Li, moves slowly at random on the surface of the water with a little fizzing.
The water then turns red litmus paper to blue.
Statement 2
Sodium, Na, moves rapidly at random on the surface of the water with a ‘hissing’ sound.
The water then turns red litmus paper to blue.
Statement 3
Potassium, K, moves very rapidly at random on the surface of the water. It ignites with
lilac flame with a ‘pop’ and a ‘hissing’ sound. The water then turns red litmus paper to
blue.
Plan a laboratory experiment to investigate the reactivity of lithium, sodium and potassium
with water.
