i was looking at the periodic table and Ti come under the Al3+ group, do you think when Ti reacts with OH- it should make Ti (OH)3

If you are looking for a would this or could this happen you'd need to know quite a bit more about the system. Ie what is the temperature and pressure, what is the pH of the system, are you electrolytically driving the reaction in any way etc... As far as the stoichiometry you've presented there is nothing "wrong" in terms of possible electron configurations or the basic math. Titanium doesn't mind contributing its two d orbital electrons to the electron hungry OH's. In fact it doesn't much mind losing its s orbitals either to further react away hydrogen to for TiO2.

it's wrong...but you are right about the statement of Ti being 3+
2Ti + 6H2O --> 2Ti(OH)3 +3 H2

first of all Ti(Titanium) doesn't lie in the same group as that of Al it is Tl(thallium) lying down Al.
Secondly i don't think Tl will from Tl(OH)3 because as we move down in p-groups, elements have "inert pair effect" according to which the upper elements in a group may eject all the electrons present in the outer most orbital(s,p), but lower in the group elements have a tendency to retain s electrons and they eject only outermost p-orbital electrons. thus they have two valencies lesser than the upper elements in the group.So if aluminium forms Al(OH)3 that is Al having three valencies; Al3+ ,Tl can form only Tl(OH). Tl having only one valency; Tl+

balanced? I don't think so..
2Ti + 2H20 ---> 2Ti(OH) + H2
2 Ti 2
4 H 4
2 O 2

I agree. You have to check the reactivity of Ti, see whether it displaces H. If not ur results can differ a whole lot different ways.
hope this helps=)

it's correct, but only in theory. this reaction is like Iron corrosion reaction in water but Titanium is much more resistance to water.that's because there is a coat of TiO2 on its surface that will protect it against corrosion. Titanium won't do this reaction under normal conditions unless you do something to remove that coat.

Yes, the formula is perfectly balanced on both sides of the arrow. Good Job.

the reaction is balanced and it makes sense but you have to see if titanium is an active metal that would replace the hydrogen in water.

The equation is balanced... yes...
Is that your question? or are you looking for something else?
