group 2 Flashcards
magnesium with warm water
slow , no flame,
mg +2h20 -> mg(oh)2 + h2
magnesium with steam
bright white flame
mg+h20-> mgo + h2
rest of group 2 metals with water
become oxidised, react w 2 water to give the hydroxide and hydrogen
trend w water as you go down group
faster down, less ppt down
observations with water
fizzing, metal dissolving, solution heating
magnesium with oxygen
and when does it happen
2mg +02->2mgo
with flame burns bright white, but can happen slowly n oxygen. therefore mg ribbon should be cleaned before reactions to remove thin layer of mgo
mg with hcl
mg +2hcl->mgcl2 +h2
mgo with hcl
mgo+2hcl->mgcl2 +h20
magnesium hydroxide in water
insoluble
mg(0h)2 with hcl
mg(0h)2 + 2hcl->mgcl2 +2h20
calcium hydroxide in water
more alkaline than mg0h2, partly coluble
barium hydroxide in water
v alklaine, v soluble, forms ba2+ and 20h-
making strontium sulafte
srcl2 +na2so4-> srso4 +2nacl
reaction of metal w sulfuric acid
makes metalso4 and hydrogen
as you go down reaction slower
extraction of titanium using magnesium
1) tio2+2cl2+2c->ticl4 +2co at 900degrees
2) ticl4 fractional distillation
3) ticl4+2mg->ti+2mgcl2
why is titanium expsenive
cost of mg, batch process, argn is used in fd and expsenive, high temps
trends
sulfate solubility less as down group hydroxide solubility more as down group atomic radius increases as down mp decreases as down reactions w water more as down group
