In the remaining chapters, we will emphasize facts and applications, but we will refer to underlying principles repeatedly. Four of the 14 elements that comprise the s-block elements are somewhat unusual cases, although not all for the same reason. - Hydrogen is the simplest element, with one proton and one electron, and its behavior is rather special. - Helium lies in the s-block but its electron configuration fits with the noble gases, and it will be considered in the next chapter. - Francium and radium are highly radioactive and we will not consider them further.

The electricity that runs a 100-W lightbulb for an hour Dilute produces only about two grams of hydrogen. Copyright 2005 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>5 Binary Compounds of Hydrogen Hydrogen reacts with other nonmetals to form molecular hydrides, such as ammonia, water, and HCI. Among the most important molecular hydrides are those of carbon (the beginning of organic chemistry!). Hydrogen reacts with the most active metals to form ionic hydrides, in which hydrogen exists as H. Ionic hydrides react with water to liberate CaH2 reacts with water, forming OH- and turning phenolphthalein pink. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>6 Binary Compounds of Hydrogen (cont'd) When hydrides are formed from transition elements, the products, called metallic hydrides, retain some metallic properties such as electrical conductivity. Some metallic hydrides are nonstoichiometric in that they have a variable formula. Hydrogen atoms occupy some but not all spaces between metal atoms. The formula of this hydride varies with the number of filled spaces. Copyright 2005 Pearson Prentice Hall, Inc. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>7 Uses of Hydrogen Nearly half the hydrogen gas produced is used in the manufacture of ammonia (NH3). Hydrogen is used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils and of unsaturated hydrocarbons such as benzene. Another chemical manufacturing process that uses hydrogen is the synthesis of methanol, an industrial solvent and starting material for making other organic materials. Hydrogen is used as a reducing agent in metallurgy. Liquid hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel. An oxyhydrogen welding torch using atomic hydrogen readily cuts through steel and can be used to melt tungsten, which has a melting point of about 3400 °C.

Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>9 Properties and Trends in Group 1A The Group 1A metals exhibit regular trends for a number of properties. Irregular trends suggest that factors are working against each other in determining a property (such as the density "discrepancy" between sodium and potassium). The alkali metals have two notable physical properties: they are all soft and have low melting points. When freshly cut, the alkali metals are bright and shiny- typical metallic properties. The metals quickly tarnish, however, as they react with oxygen in the air.

Lithium is obtained mostly from the mineral spodumene, To convert an alkali metal ion into an alkali metal atom, the ion must take on an electron-a process of reduction. This is not easy with the alkali metals; they are excellent reducing agents. Potassium was the first alkali metal to be prepared by electrolysis. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>13 Occurrence, Preparation, Use, and Reactions of the Alkali Metals Liquid sodium is used as a heat transfer medium in some types of nuclear reactors and in automobile engine valves, and its vapor is used in lamps for outdoor lighting. Potassium is used in making KO, used as an oxygen source for miner's "self-rescuers" and similar devices: Lithium is used in lightweight batteries of the type found in heart pacemakers, cellular telephones, digital cameras, and portable computers.

Sodium and potassium ions are in a second tier of seven elements that account for about 0.9% of the atoms. Sodium ions are found primarily in fluids outside cells and potassium ions are abundant in fluids within cells. Because most alkali metal compounds are water soluble, many drugs that are weak acids are administered in the form of their sodium or potassium salts. Lithium carbonate is used in medicine to level out the dangerous manic "highs" that occur in manic-depressive psychoses. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th edition, Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>21 Properties and Trends in Group 2A Group 2A shows the same general trends of increasing atomic and ionic sizes and decreasing ionization energies from top to bottom as does group 1A. The higher densities of the group 2A metals are mainly a consequence of the large differences in atomic sizes. The group 2A metals are all good reducing agents. Mg(OH)2 is virtually insoluble in water, however As the cation size increases from top to bottom on the periodic table, interionic attractions decrease in strength and the solubilities of the compounds in water increase. Ba(OH)2 is sufficiently soluble to be used as a titrant in acid-base titrations.

Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>23 The Special Case of Beryllium Beryllium is somewhat different from the rest of group 2A. BeO does not react with water, while the other group 2A metal oxides do so: MO + M(OH)2. Be and BeO dissolve in strongly basic solutions to form the ion. The oxide BeO has acidic properties. The other alkaline earth metal oxides are basic. Molten 2 and BeCl2 are poor conductors of electricity; they are molecular substances (see below). The other group IIA compounds are almost entirely ionic.

Limestone is mainly dolomite is MgCO Barium and strontium are found in the Earth's crust at about 400 ppm, and beryllium is found at 2 ppm. An important mineral source of beryllium is the mineral beryl, Some familiar gemstones, including aquamarine and emerald, are beryl, distinctively colored by impurities. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th edition, Hill, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>25 Occurrence, Preparation, Uses, and Reactions of Group 2A Metals (cont'd) To obtain beryllium metal, beryl is first converted to BeF2. Then the BeF2 is reduced to beryllium, using magnesium as the reducing agent. Calcium is generally obtained by electrolysis of molten calcium chloride. Strontium and barium can also be obtained by electrolysis, but are usually obtained by the high-temperature reduction of their oxides, using aluminum as the reducing agent. Until recently, magnesium was obtained by the electrolysis of molten in the Dow process. Less expensive methods of obtaining magnesium are now available. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>26 Occurrence, Preparation, Uses, and Reactions of Group 2A Metals (cont'd) Alloys of beryllium with other metals have many applications such as springs, clips, and lightweight structural materials. Beryllium is nonsparking, and tools that must be used in flammable atmospheres are sometimes made of beryllium. Magnesium has a lower density than any other structural metal and is an important metallurgical reducing agent. Magnesium is also used in batteries and fireworks. Calcium is used to reduce the oxides or fluorides of less common metals to the free metals. Calcium is also alloyed with lead in lead-acid batteries, and is used to form other alloys with aluminum and silicon. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>27 Reactions of Group 2A Metals Reactivity with water increases from beryllium to barium: - Beryllium does not react with water. - Magnesium reacts with steam but not with cold water. - Calcium reacts slowly with cold water. - Strontium and barium react more rapidly with cold water. All the alkaline earth metals react with dilute acids to displace hydrogen: M(s) + 2 H+(aq) + H2(g). The alkaline earth metals react with the halogens to form the corresponding halides, with oxygen to form the oxides, and with nitrogen to form the nitrides.

If we know that the strip has a mass of 1.000 g, can we calculate with certainty the mass of the product obtained?

Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>30 Important Compounds of Magnesium and Calcium Several magnesium compounds occur naturally, either in mineral form or in brines. These include the carbonate, chloride, hydroxide, and sulfate. Limestone is a naturally occurring form of calcium carbonate, containing clay and other impurities. Portland cement is made by heating limestone, clay, and sand. When the cement is mixed with sand, gravel, and water, it solidifies into concrete. Ordinary soda-lime glass is formed by heating limestone, sand, and sodium carbonate together. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th edition, Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>31 Important Compounds of Magnesium and Calcium (cont'd) Limestone is used in the metallurgy of iron and steel to produce an easily liquefied mixture of calcium silicates called slag, which carries away impurities from the molten metal. Precipitated (purified) calcium carbonate is used extensively as a filler in paint, plastics, printing inks, and rubber. It is also used as a mild abrasive in toothpastes, food, cosmetics, and antacids. Added to paper, calcium carbonate makes the paper bright, opaque, smooth, and capable of absorbing ink well. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>32 Important Compounds of Magnesium and Calcium (cont'd) Quicklime (CaO) and slaked lime [Ca(OH)2] are the cheapest and most widely used bases, and are usually the first choice for neutralizing unwanted acids. Slaked lime sees extensive agricultural use. Quicklime is used to neutralize sulfur oxides formed when coal burns. Gypsum has the formula 2 Another hydrate of calcium sulfate is plaster of paris which has the formula CaSO4 H2O and is obtained by heating gypsum. Gypsum is used to make the familiar "drywall" or "plaster board" wall material. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>33 The Group 2A Metals and Living Matter Persons of average size have approximately 25 g of magnesium in their bodies. The recommended daily intake of magnesium for adults is 350 mg. Calcium is essential to all living matter. The human body typically contains from 1 to 1.5 kg of calcium. Strontium is not essential to living matter, but it is of interest because of its chemical similarity to calcium. Barium also has no known function in organisms; in fact, the Ba2+ ion is toxic.

Deposited CaCO leads to stalactites, stalagmites, and other cave formations.

Hard water tends to precipitate soaps, reducing their effectiveness. If the primary anion is the hydrogen carbonate ion, the hardness is said to be temporary hardness. If the primary anions are other than bicarbonate ion, then the hardness is called permanent hardness.

The droplets detach themselves from the surfaces being cleaned, become suspended in water, and are removed by rinsing. The alkali metal soaps are water soluble; the alkaline earth metal soaps are not. A soap can function well in hard water only after a part of it is used up to precipitate all the alkaline earth metal ions present; in other words, the soap softens the water first. Prentice Hall © 2005 General Chemistry 4th Hill, Petrucci, McCreary, Perry Chapter Twenty</p><p>38 Cleaning Action of a Soap A soap has a hydrocarbon "tail" (a) and an ionic "head" An oil droplet is attracted to the hydrocarbon tails, and the ionic ends permit the droplet to be solubilized in water.
