To arrange the metals Potassium (K), Sodium (Na), and Calcium (Ca) in decreasing order of reactivity based on their reactions with water, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the reactions of each metal with water. - **Potassium (K)**: When potassium reacts with water, it forms potassium hydroxide (KOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction is very vigorous. - **Sodium (Na)**: Sodium also reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction is vigorous but less so than potassium. - **Calcium (Ca)**: Calcium reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). This reaction is fast but not as vigorous as the reactions of potassium and sodium. ### Step 2: Compare the vigor of the reactions. ...
