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
