Question
Answer
Write the balanced equation for sodium reacting with water including state symbols   2Na(s) + H2O(aq) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)  
🗑
Which product determines the pH of the solution formed when sodium reacts with water.   NaOH(aq) it is alkaline (pH13-14)  
🗑
What pH is the solution formed after sodium reacts with water?   pH 13-14  
🗑
Why does sodium melt into a ball when it reacts with water   The reaction is highly exothermic  
🗑
Describe and explain the difference in reactivity between sodium and magnesium (4)   Na is more reactive, Mg contains stronger metallic bonds, due to the metal ions having a higher charge and being smaller and because there are more delocalised electrons  
🗑
Why is the reaction of magnesium with water much slower than sodium   The metallic bonding in magensium is stronger causing the activation energy of the reaction to be high  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for magensium reacting with steam, including state symbols   Mg(s) + H2O(g) → MgO(s) + H2(g)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for sodium reacting with oxygen, including state symbols   Na(s) + O2(g) → Na2O(s)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for magnesium reacting with oxygen, including state symbols   2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for aluminium reacting with oxygen, including state symbols   4Al(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Al2O3(s)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for silicon reacting with oxygen, including state symbols   Si(s) + O2(g) → SiO2(s)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for phosphorus reacting with oxygen, including state symbols   4P(s) + 5O2(g) → P4O10(s)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for sulfur reacting with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, including state symbols   S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for sulfur reacting with oxygen to form sulfur trioxide, including state symbols   2SO2(s) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)  
🗑
Describe the structure and bonding in sodium, magensium and aluminium oxide   giant ionic lattice  
🗑
Describe and explain the difference in the mpt of sodium and magnesium oxide   mpt of MgO is higher because the metal ion is smaller with a higher charge resulting in greater electrostatic forces between oppositely charged ions  
🗑
Describe and explain the difference in the mpt of magensium and aluminium oxide   MgO is higher because Al2O3 contains covalent character, due to the very small and highly charged metal ion which distorts the electron density of the O2- ion  
🗑
Describe the structure and bonding in silicon dioxide   giant covalent structure  
🗑
Explain why the mpt of silicon dioxide is very high   due to giant covalent structure, strong covalent bonds need to be broken which requires a lot of energy  
🗑
Describe the structure and bonding of phosphorus and sulfur oxides   simple covalent molecules  
🗑
Which has a higher mpt P4O10 or SO2. Explain your answer   P4O10, as it is a larger molecule resulting in stronger van der waals forces between molecules  
🗑
Which period 3 oxides are basic?   sodium and magensium oxide  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for sodium oxide reacting with water, including state symbols   Na2O(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for magnesium oxide reacting with water, including state symbols   MgO(s) + 2H2O(l) → Mg(OH)2(aq)  
🗑
What is the pH og Mg(OH)2   About 8-10  
🗑
Why does NaO dissolve to make an alkaline solution?   Na breaks up into its ions, the O2- ion takes an H+ from water forming 2 OH- ions  
🗑
Why is the pH of sodium hydroxide higher than magnesium hydroxide?   MgO is only slightly soluble, due to a higher lattice enthalpy. The concentration of O2- ions in solution are low therefore the OH- concentration is low, making the solution only slightly alkaline  
🗑
What is the pH of the solution when Al2O3 is mixed with water and why   7, as it is insoluble due to a high lattice enthalpy  
🗑
What is the pH of the solution when sulfur dioxide is mixed with water and why   7, as it is insoluble due giant covalent structure which needs a large amount of energy to break  
🗑
Which period 3 oxides are acidic?   phosphorus and sulfur oxides  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for phosphorus oxide reacting with water, including state symbols   P4O10(s) + 6H2O(l) → 4H3PO4(aq)  
🗑
Write a balanced equation for sulfur dioxide reacting with water, including state symbols   SO2(g) + H2O(l) → H2SO3(aq)
