Hazard Predictions
- No known hazardous reaction
No evidence was found for a hazardous interaction between less-reactive metals and water at ambient temperatures. However, a hazardous interaction can occur at elevated temperatures:
Molten tin explodes on contact with water (Board, S. J. et al., Int. J. Heat Mass Transf., 1974, 17, p. 331-339; Board, S. J. et al., Chem. Abs., 1975, 83, 12950).
Copper is very stable in fresh water (Lossin, A. 2001. Copper. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
