Chlor-Alkali Process
Electricity is passed through brine soltution which makes Sodium Hydroxide
NaCl(aq) + H2O = NaOH + Cl2 + H2
Chlor-Alkali Process gas evolution
Chlorine gas is give off at the anode
Hydrogen gas at the cathode
Formation of bleaching power

Bleaching powder uses
Bleaching cotton
Oxidising agent
To make drinking water clean from germs

NaCl + H2O + CO2 + NH3 = NH4Cl + NaHCO3
Decompositon of baking soda
Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2
Formation of Washing Soda
NaHCO3 –> Na2CO3 + H2O + CO2

Metal + Oxygen –>
Metal oxide
Metal + Water
Metal oxide + H2
Metal oxide + Water
Metal Hydroxide
Cold water reaction
Potassium, Sodiunm, Calcium(not too violently)
Why does calcium,magnesium float in water
H2 bubbles on surface
hot water reaction
Magnesium
steam reaction
Aluminium, iron, zinc
Why doesn’t H2 not evolve when a metal reacts with nitric acid
HNO3 is a strong oxidizing agent. It oxidizes the H2 to H2O and itself gets reduced to nitrogen oxides
Soft metals
Alkali Metals
(lithium, sodium, potassium)

Properties of ionic bonds
Solids and Hard because of strong force of attraction between ions
High melting and boiling points because of amount of energy required to break ionic attraction
Soluble
Molten ionic compounds conduct electricity
Cinnabar
HgS
Extraction of cinnabar
Roasting of HgS
HgS + O2 –> HgO + SO2
HgO –> Hg + O2
Extraction of Copper
Roasting of Cu2S
Cu2S + O2 –> Cu2O + SO2
Cu2O + Cu2S –Heat–> Cu + SO2
Extraction of Zinc
Roasting
ZnS + O2 –> ZnO + SO2
Calcination
ZnCO3 –> ZnO + CO2
ZnO + C(reducing agent) –> Zn + CO
Extraction of Manganese
MnO2 + Al –> Mn + Al2O3 + Heat
Extraction of Fe/ Thermit reaction
Fe2O3 + Al –> Fe + Al2O3 + Heat
Used to join railway tracks or cracked machine parts
Extraction of Sodium/ Electrolytic refining
Impure metal is at the anode
Pure metal gets deposited at cathode
Anode mud gets deposited
Anode –> Positive terminal
Cl- –> Cl2 + 2e
Cathode –> Negative terminal
Na+ + e- –> Na
Metal salt is used at electrolyte
Corrosion examples
Silver becomes black when exposed to sulphur in air(Silver sulphide)
Copper reacts with CO2 and gains a green coat(Copper carbonate)
Iron when exposed to moist air turns to rust(Fe2O3)
Corrosion Prevention
Alloying
Galvinization
Painting
Greasing
Amalgam meaning
If one of the metals in an alloy is mercury
Brass composition
Alloy of copper and zinc
Bronze composition
Alloy of copper and tin
Solder composition
Alloy of Lead and tin
Why can’t Carbon form ionic bonds
Gaining four electrons would be difficult for the 6 protons nucleus to hold 10 electrons
Loosing fouor electrons would require a large amount of energy
Unqiue properties of carbon
