Q

Explain how magnesium can be used to extract titanium from its ore and give the equation:

A

TiCl4(g) + Mg2(g) —> Ti(s) + 2MgCl(l)

  • TiO2 (the main titanium ore) is converted to titanium chloride (TiCl4) by heating it with carbom in a stream of chlorine gas
  • the titanium chloride is then purified by fractional distillation
  • it is reduced by Mg in a furnace at almost 1000oC

Q

Explain how calcium oxide and calcium carbonate can be used to remove sulfur dioxide and give the equations:

A

CaO(s) + 2H2O(l) + SO2(g) —> CaSO3(s) + 2H2O(l)

CaCO3(s) + 2H2O(l) + SO2(g) > CaCO3(s) + 2H2O(l) + CO2(g)

  • powdered calcium oxide (CaO) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
  • a slurry is made by mixing these with water
  • it’s sprayed onto the flue gases
  • a solid waste product of calcium sulfite is formed

46
Q

Is chlorine oxidised or reduced in the reaction to make bleach?

A

Disproportionation

48
Q

Give 4 uses of bleach:

A
  • Water treatment
  • Bleaching paper
  • Bleaching textiles
  • Cleaning toilets
49
Q

Does chlorine get oxidised or reduced when it reacts with water?

A

Both - disproportionation

50
Q

52
Q

Give 3 positives for the treatment of water with chlorine:

A
  • Kills disease-causing microorganisms
  • Some chlorine stays in water and prevents reinfection
  • Prevents growth of algae (and therefore bad tastes, smells and discolouration)
53
Q

Give 2 negatives for the treatment of water with chlorine:

A
  • Chlorine gas is harmful if inhaled
  • Liquid chlorine causes chemical burns
  • Could form chlorinated hydrocarbons which can cause cancer (but consider the health effects of unsafe drinking water)
54
Q

What is the trend in reducing power down group 7?

A

Increases…

  • Ions get bigger - electrons further from nucleus
  • more shielding
