properties of alkali metals
- Low density, density increases going down the group
- MP and BP decrease going down the group
- MP and BP are low for metals.
- Form hydroxides in water
- Good conductors
- Shiny but tarnish quickly
- Very reactive
Halogens are very โ- non-metals
Reactive
Properties of halogens
- MP and BP are high, increase going down the group
- More dense going down the group
- Darker colour as you go down
- Poisonous vapour, bromine is corrosive to skin
% of oxygen in the air
21%
% of nitrogen in the air
78%
% of argon in the air
0.9%
% of CO2 in the air
0.04%
A use for oxygen
To respire aerobically
A use of nitrogen
- Ammonia
- Crisps
- Fertilizer
A use for CO2
- Photosynthesis
- extinguishing fires
- Dry ice
A use for argon
Light bulbs
Outline an experiment to show the percentage oxygen in the air
- 2 syringes are connected by a tube, fill the passage way with copper fillings.
- Pull the first syringe back to measure volume of air in both tubes(should be 100cm^3)
- Heat the fillings
- Push the air through the syringes so it passes over the fillings
- Continue action for a period of time, then measure the final volume of air.
- Subtract the beginning value from the end value
- As copper oxide formed, the answer is the volume of oxygen in the air.
Group 1 all form โโ ions
Positive or colourless
both are correct answers
What is observed in a reaction of sodium with water?
- Effervescence
- a trail in the water
- Sodium floats on the water
- Sodium melts into a ball
- If tested with indicator, alkali solution forms.
Francium and astatine are โโ-
radioactive
Group 1 metals
What is the trail in the water that sodium leaves upon reaction?
Sodium hydroxide
predicted properties of francium
- very soft
- Room temperature MP
- Very dense
- Violent with water
Observations of Mg burning in pure oxygen?
- Effervesence
- (insoluble) white powder
Chemical and physical
Observations of Sulphur burning with oxygen?
- Blue flame
- Colourless gas(SO2)
- Soluble gas
Observations of hydrogen heated with oxygen
- H2O forms
- Explosive
Properties fo a metal oxide
- Ionic compond
- Basic oxide(makes salt with acidic)
- Insoluble with water(those few that are form OH+)
Properties of a non-metal oxide?
- Covalent compounds
- Acidic oxides
- Soluble in water, make H+ ions
A simple thermal decomposition we can do in school to form CO2?
CuCO3โโ>CuO+CO2
can also be done with calcium carbonate
What is galvanizing of iron?
Coating it with Zinc so that it is is prevented from rusting as zinc is more reactive, even if the layer is scratched oxygen will still react with it in preference to Iron. A combination of barrier and sacrificial anode protection methods.
