Inorganic Flashcards
Another term for giant covalent
Macromolecular
Period 3 oxide insoluble in water
Al2O3
Period 3 hydroxide used in medicine
Mg(OH)2
Element in group 3 with highest electronegativity
Chlorine
Determining the melting point of a sample
Evaluate Impurity
Place sample in melting point apparatus
Heat slowly
Lower melting point indicates presence of impurities
What is produces when group 2 metals react with water?
Metal hydroxides + hydrogen
How does the solubility of group 2 hydroxides change down the group?
increases
What happens to the solubility of group 2 sulfates down the group?
Decreases
What is used to convert titanium ore TiO2 to titanium Chloride?
Chlorine gas and Carbon
2nd step of Titanium extraction
Heat TiCl4 with Mg at 1000’C
TiCl + 2Mg –> Ti + 2MgCl2
What group 2 hydroxides are used to neutralise acids?
Calcium hydroxide
Magnesium hydroxide
Where is Calcium hydroxide used to neutralise acids?
Neutralise acidic soils in agriculture
Where is magnesium hydroxide used to neutralise acid?
Indigestion tablets as an antacid that neutralise stomach acid
How is barium sulphate used in healthcare
Coats the oesophogus, stomach and intestines, reflects the X-ray for the organs to show up
What is wet scrubbing?
The process of removing SO2 from flue gases
What is used to remove SO2 from flue gas?
How?
CaO and CaCO3
CaO is mixed with water and sprayed onto the gases, creating the byproduct CaSO3
Most electronegative element
Fluorine
How does electronegativity change down group 7?
decreases
How do boiling points change down group 7?
Why?
increase
Because elements have more electrons, creating stronger Van DER Waal’s
How does ammonia solubility change down group 7?
Decreases
Change of silver halide solubility in ammonia down group 7
decreases
What will happen if an elemental halide is added to a halide solution?
Why?
The heavier halide will be displaced
Because the lighter halide has a greater preference to be the halide ion because it is electronegative
H2SO4 + F/CL
HF / HCl
H2SO4 + Br-
Br2 + SO2
H2SO4 + I-
I2 + H2S - a toxic chemical which smells like eggs
