Reactive metal-water explosions discussion

Reaction with cold water is of moderate vigour, but violent with hot water, and the liberated hydrogen may ignite [1], The powdered metal reacts explosively with water [2], The reactivity of lithium and other alkali metals with various forms of water has been discussed in detail. Prolonged contact with steam forms a thermally insulating layer which promotes overheating of the metal and may lead to a subsequent explosion as the insulating layer breaks up [3],... [Pg.1755]
