M3.4 CALCIUM WITH EXCESS WATER
LINKS

The video shows what happens when a lump of calcium is added to a large beaker of water. There is much more water than is needed to react with all of the calcium.

Watch the video and answer the questions:

Why does the calcium sink then rise to the surface again?

Why does the white solid appear briefly in the water and then disappear?
