periodic table Flashcards
group 2 metal reaction with oxygen
2Ca (s) + O2 (g)—> 2CaO (s)
group 2 metal reaction with dilute acid
Ca (s) + 2HCl (aq) —-> CaCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)
group 2 metal reaction with water
Ca (s) + 2H2O (l) —-> Ca(OH)2 (aq) +H2 (g)
what happens to the solubility of metal hydroxides down the group
increases, so increased alkilinity
use of group 2 compounds
- neutralising acid soil
- indigestion remedies
- building and construction uses
neutralising acid soils equation
Ca(OH)2 (s) + 2HCl (aq) —-> CaCl2 (aq) +2H2O (l)
indigestion remedies
Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl —-> MgCl2 + 2H2O
CaCO3 + 2HCl —> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
Building and construction uses
CaCO3 + 2HCl —> CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
