Q

What happens to 1st ionisation energy as we go down the group?

A

The ionisation energy decreases as we go down the group due to increased shielding so there is a weaker attraction between the nucleus and the outer electron so less energy is needed to remove the outer electron

Q

What happens to the Melting points as we go down the group?

A

It decreases as we go down the group however magnesium is an exception due to its differing structure

Q

What Structure do group 2 elements form?

A

They form metallic structure where the positive metal ions are attracted and surrounded by a sea of delocalised electrons

Q

What happens to the size of the metal ion as we go down the group?

Q

Why do larger ions have a weaker attractive force?

A

The distance between the + nuclei in metal ions and delocalised electrons is greater weakening the attractive forces

Q

Why does magnesium react with steam instead of water?

A

Magnesium is an exception as it reacts slowly with cold water but more vigorously with steam producing magnesium oxide

Q

What compound neutralises acidic soils?

A

Ca(OH)2

17
Q

What compound neutralises stomach acid and why?

A

Mg(OH)2 is used to neutralise stomach acid due to excess stomach acid being formed

18
Q

What is a use of barium sulfate (BaSO4)?

A

It is used as medical tracers in X rays

19
Q

How comes Barium sulfate is toxic but does not cause harm to the body?

A

This is due to the fact that barium sulfate is insoluble therefore the bodies bloodstream cannot absorb this

20
Q

Describe the test for sulfates and the reagent used?

A

BaCl2 is used
1. Add HCl to remove any carbonates in. These could ppt out after adding BaCl2 giving a fake result
2. Add BaCl2
3. White ppt formed is any sulfates are present

21
Q

What is the ionic equation for Barium sulfate?

A

Ba2+(aq) + SO42- (aq) arrow BaSO4 (s)

22
Q

Describe the processes that occurs for the extraction of titanium?

A

1.Titanium dioxide is converted to titanium tetrachloride by heating carbon and chlorine gas
2.Titanium tetrachloride is passed through a fractional distillation column to increase purity
3. Purified Titanium tetrachloride is reduced using magnesium in a 1000* furnace

23
Q

What is the equation for the extraction of titanium?

A

TiCl4 + 2Mg arrow Ti + 2MgCl2

24
Q

Describe the process for the removal of sulfur dioxide?

A

Use either calcium oxide or calcium carbonate to remove the emissions via wet scrubbing. This is when an alkali is used to neutralise sulfur dioxide in the gases

25
Q

What product is produced after the removal of sulfur dioxide?

A

Calcium sulfite

26
Q

What is the equation for the removal of sulfur dioxide via calcium carbonate?

A

CacO3 (s) + 2H2O (l) + SO2 (g) arrow CaSO3 (s) + 2H2O (l) + CO2 (g)

27
Q

What is the equation for the removal of sulfur dioxide via calcium oxide?

A

CaO (s) + 2H2O (l) + SO2 (g) arrow CaSO3 (s) + 2H2O (l)

28
Q

Why does reactivity of water increase down the group?

A

Atoms get larger and electron is further from the nucleus so its easier to remove hence more reactive. More shielding
