The products of the reaction of strontium hydride and water are A) SrOH + H₂. B) Sr₂O + H₂. C) Sr(OH)₂ + H₂. D) SrO + H₂. E) SrOH + O₂.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction between strontium hydride and water can be represented as SrH2 + 2H2O → Sr(OH)2 + 2H2. Therefore, the products are strontium hydroxide (Sr(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). Option C is the closest to this formula, as it shows Sr(OH)₂ (which is Sr(OH)2) and H2₂ (which is hydrogen gas). The other options either have incorrect formulas or include additional compounds that are not formed in this reaction.
