Topic 4 Periodic table Flashcards
(87 cards)
what do water and group 2 metal react to form
metal hydroxides
What is the reaction between magnesuim & water like
reacts very slowly + bubbles of hydrogen gas form
what can be seen in the reaction of G2 metal with water
- As you go down the group the level of bubbling, effervecence & vigour increase
what is the model reaction of G2 metals with water
M + 2H2O = M(OH)2 + H2O
what does calcuim form in the reaction with water
white precipitate
what does Sr form in the reaction with water
Colourless solution
what does Ba form in the reaction with water
Colourless solution
what do G2 metals form when they react with oxygen
metal oxides
what is the model equation of the reaction of G2 metal with oxygen
2M + O2 = 2MO
what is formed when G2 metal react with chlorine
Metal Chlorides
what is the model equation for the reaction of G2 metals with chlorine
M + Cl2 = MCl2
what is the observation in the reaction between G2 metals and chlorine
a yellow glow can be seen
what happens in the reaction between magnesuim & steam
Reacts very vigourously
what is formed with magnesuim is reacted with steam
Magnesuim Oxide
What is formed when G2 oxides react with water
Metal Hydroxides
What happens to the alkalinity of the G2 hydroxides as you go down the group
Become more alkaline as there is more OH being dissolved
what are formed when G2 oxides are reacted with acids
Salt (either sulphate or chloride)
Water
what happens when G2 hydroxides are reacted with acids
forms colourless solution of metal salts
what happens to the solubility of G2 hydroxides as you go down the group
increase
what happens to the solubility of G2 sulphates as you go down the group
decrease
what can be used as test for sulpahtes
adding HCL & baruim chloride to form baruim sulphate which is a white precipitate
what is thermal decomposition
breakdown of a compound into 2 or more different substances using heat
what is formed in the TD of G2 carbonates
Group 2 Carbonates breakdown via thermal decomposition to form metal oxides and carbon dioxide.
what happens to G2 carbonates as you go down the group and what is required
Going down the group, the carbonates become more stable, and more heat is needed to break them.
