Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a metal reacts with water, it forms a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. Sr is a metal, and therefore it will react with water to form a metal hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The chemical formula for strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)2, so the correct balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 
Sr(s) + 2H2O(l) -> Sr(OH)2(s) + H2(g)
Therefore, the best choice is C, which shows the correct product of Sr(OH)2. Choices A, B, D, and E are incorrect because they do not show the formation of a metal hydroxide as a product.
