Equation for reaction between Magnesium and Steam
Mg(s) + H2O(l) -> MgO(s) + H2 (g)
Trend in solubility of Group 2 Hydroxides down the group
Increasing
Mg= insoluble
Ca= slightly soluble
Sr= soluble
Ba= soluble
Trend in solubility of Group 2 Sulfates down the group
Decreasing
Mg= soluble
Ca= slightly soluble
Sr= insoluble
Ba= insoluble
Equations for using Magnesium to extract Titanium from its Ore
TiO2 + 2C + 2Cl2 -> TiCl4 + 2CO
TiCl4 + 2Mg -> Ti + 2MgCl2
Use for Calcium Hydroxide and Calcium Carbonate
Neutralise Fields
Use for Calcium Oxide
Remove Sulfur Dioxide from Flue Gas
Use for Barium Sulfate
Barium Meal for X-Rays of the Digestive System
Equation for reaction between Group 2 Metal (X) and Water
X + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2
