Group 2 Flashcards
Test for OH- ions
Add MgCl
A white precipitate will form
Test for Mg+ ions
NaOH
a white precipitate of Mg(OH)2
Magnesium with steam
Mg + H2O-> MgO + H2
MgO forms a solid precipitate
Reaction of group 2 compounds with water down the group
Down the group the rate Increases as more shielding so outer electron is further from the nucleus so is lost more easily
mg
ca as you go down it becomes more
sr soluble
ba fizzing from warming up
Test for Ba2+
Add SO4 from (NaSO4 or H2SO4)
white precipitate
Which sulphate is insoluble
BaSO4
Test for Sulfate Ions/ Test for Barium ions
Add acidified barium chloride solution
a white precipitate of BaSO4 forms
To test for baruim add Sulfuric acid, precipitate of BaSO4 forms
Extraction of Titanium
TiCl4+2Mg->Ti+2MgCl2
