Periodic Table Reactions Flashcards
NaCl with water
pH 7
Dissolves readily
NaCl (s) —> Na+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
MgCl2 with water
pH 6.5
Dissolves with slight hydrolysis to give slightly acidic solution
Equation forms Mg(H2O)5OH+ complex
AlCl3 with water
pH 3
Dissolves with appreciable hydrolysis to give an acidic solution
Forms aluminium complex
SiCl4 with water
pH 2
Dissolves in water due to complete hydrolysis to form acidic solution
Forms SiO2 (s) and 4HCl (aq)
PCl5 with water (excess)
pH 2
Dissolves in water due to complete hydrolysis to form acidic solution
Forms phosphoric acid and HCl (aq)
PCl5 with water (limited)
pH 2 Gives POCl3 (l) and 2HCl (g)
PCl5 with added water (after limited)
Starting from POCl3 (l)
Gives phosphoric acid and HCl (aq)
Sodium oxide with water
pH 13
Reacts vigorously to form strongly basic solution
Magnesium oxide with water
pH 9
Reacts less vigorously to form weakly alkaline solution
Due to more exothermic lattice energy, it is more difficult to break ionic lattice structure, so MgO is sparingly soluble
Aluminium oxide with water
No reaction (insoluble in water) Very exothermic lattice energy
Silicon dioxide with water
No reaction (insoluble in water) Strong and extensive covalent bonds between Si and O atoms in lattice structure
Phosphorus oxide with water
pH 2
Reacts readily with water to form acidic solution
Gives phosphoric acid
Sulfur trioxide with water
pH 2
Reacts readily with water to form acidic solution
Gives sulphuric acid
Sodium oxide/hydroxide with acids
Undergo neutralisation, forms salt solution
Magnesium oxide/hydroxide with acids
Undergo neutralisation, forms salt solution
