An element reacts with oxygen to give a compound with a high melting point. This compound is also soluble in water. The element is likely to be:

पर्याय

  • calcium

  • carbon

  • silicon

  • iron

MCQ

उत्तर

calcium

Explanation:

Calcium (Ca) combines with oxygen to form Calcium oxide (CaO) with a very high melting point. It dissolves in water to form Calcium hydroxide.

\[\ce{2Ca + O2 -> 2CaO}\]

\[\ce{CaO + H2O -> \underset{(soluble)}{\underset{Calcium hydroxide}{Ca(OH)2}}}\]
