What 2 observations can be made when lithium reacts with water, and why?

There is fizzing, because the reaction of any alkali metal with water will produce hydrogen, this gas escapes as fizzing The metal will become smaller and dissapear, because as the reaction continues, the lithium is used up, producing lithium hydroxide, which will dissolve in water.
