- Abstract
A way to control some of the most dangerous reactions and, at the same time, introduce a systematic approach toward the study of the reactions of the alkali metals with acids has been offered. Explanations of the observed phenomena, considering the vigorous nature of the reactions and the circumstances contributing to the rate of reaction due to the precipitate formation or the presence of water, are discussed. The reactions between some concentrated aqueous solutions of oxoacids (HNO3, H3PO4, H2SO4, HClO4) and alkali metals (Li, Na, K) are considered. Video clips of the experiments were prepared as an aid for those instructors who lack experience and/or the necessary materials. This publication is a continuation of the previously published article about the reaction of alkali metals with hydrohalic acids and is part of the series of publications under the general title "A Safe Way of Performing Dangerous Experiments".
