    CHAPTER 21 CHEMISTRY OF THE MAIN-GROUP ELEMENTS I:

    GROUPS 1, 2, 13, AND 14

    PRACTICE EXAMPLES 1A (E) From Figure 21-2, the route from sodium chloride to sodium nitrate begins with

    electrolysis of NaCl(aq) to form NaOH(aq). 2NaCl aq + 2 H2O l electrolysis 2 NaOH aq + H2 g + Cl2 g followed by addition of NO2 g to NaOH(aq). 2 3 22 NaOH aq + 3 NO g 2 NaNO aq + NO g + H O(l)

    1B (E) From Figure 21-2, we see that the route from sodium chloride to sodium thiosulfate

    begins with the electrolysis of NaCl(aq) to produce NaOH(aq), 2 NaCl aq + 2 H2O l electrolysis 2 NaOH aq + H2 g + Cl2 g and continues through the reaction of SO2 g with the NaOH(aq) in an acid-base reaction

    [ SO2 g is an acid anhydride] to produce 2 3 2 2 3 2Na SO aq : 2 NaOH aq + SO g Na SO aq + H O(l) and (3) concludes with

    the addition of S to the boiling solution: boil2 3 2 2 3Na SO aq +S(s) Na S O aq . 2A (M) The first reaction indicates that 0.1 mol of NaNO2 reacts with 0.3 mol of Na to yield

    0.2 mol of compound X and 0.05 mol of N2. Since this reaction liberates nitrogen gas, it is very likely that compound X is an oxide of sodium. The two possibilities include Na2O and Na2O2. Na2O2 will not react with oxygen, but Na2O will. Therefore, compound X is most likely Na2O and compound Y is Na2O2. The balanced chemical equations for two processes are:

    NaNO2 (s)+3Na(s) 2Na2O(s)+ 12 N2 (g)

    Na2O(s)+12

    O2 (g) Na2O2 (s)

    2B (M) Since compound X is used in plaster of Paris it must contain calcium. Calcium reacts

    with carbon to form calcium carbide, according to the following chemical equation: Ca(s)+2C(s) CaC2 (s)

    Furthermore, compound X or calcium carbide reacts with nitrogen gas to form compound Y or calcium cyanamide: CaC2 (s)+N2 (g) CaCN2 (s)+C(s)

    CN22- anion is isoelectronic with CO2 and it therefore contains 16 electrons. The structure of this anion is:

    NaCN(aq) Na+(aq)+CN-(aq)Al(NO3)3(aq) Al3+(aq)+3NO3- (aq)

    NaCN is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (HCN) and its solution is therefore basic. We proceed by first determining the [OH]- concentration in a solution which is 1.0M in NaCN:

    B (M) When 2 2BeCl 4H O is heated, it decomposes to Be(OH)2(s), H2O(g), and HCl(g), as discussed in Section 21-3. 2 2BeCl 4H O comprises [Be(H2O)4]2+ and Cl ions. Because of the high polarizing power of Be2+, it is difficult to remove the coordinated water molecules by heating the solid and the acidity of the coordinated H2O molecules is enhanced. When 2 2BeCl 4H O is dissolved in water, [Be(H2O)4]2+ ions react with water, and [Be(H2O)3(OH)]+ and H3O+ ions are produced. Hence, a solution of 2 2BeCl 4H O is expected to be acidic. When 2 2CaCl 6H O is heated, CaCl2(s) and H2O(g) are produced. Because the charge density and polarizing power of Ca2+ is much less than that of Be2+, it is much easier to drive off the coordinated water molecules by heating the solid. When 2 2CaCl 6H O is dissolved in water, Ca2+(aq) and Cl(aq) are produced. However, the charge density of the Ca2+ ion is too low to affect the acidity of water molecules in the hydration sphere of the Ca2+ ion. Hence, a solution of 2 2CaCl 6H O has a neutral pH.

    addition of K PO (aq)3 4 to a solution of the white solid will produce a precipitate if the white solid is LiCl, but no precipitate if the white solid is KCl. The best method is a flame test; lithium gives a red color to a flame, while the potassium flame test is violet.

    4. (E) When heated, Li CO2 3 decomposes to 2CO (g) and 2 2 3Li O(l). K CO (s) simply melts when heated. The evolution of CO (g)2 bubbles should be sufficient indication of the difference in behavior. The flame test affords a violet flame if K+ is present, and a red flame if Li+ is present.

    5. (M) First we note that sodium carbonate ionizes virtually completely when dissolved in H2O and

    thus is described as highly soluble in water. This is made evident by the fact that there is no Ksp value for Na2CO3. By contrast, the existence of Ksp values for MgCO3 and Li2CO3 shows that these compounds have lower solubilities in water than Na2CO3. To decide whether MgCO3 is more or less soluble than Li2CO3, we must calculate the molar solubility for each salt and then compare the two values. Clearly, the salt that has the larger molar solubility will be more soluble in water. The molar solubilities can be found using the respective Ksp expressions for the two salts.

    1. MgCO3 -8

    sp = 3.5 10K Mg2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) Let s = molar solubility of MgCO3 excess s s s s2 = 3.510-8 s = 1.910-4 M

    2. Li2CO3 -2

    sp = 2.5 10K 2 Li+(aq) + CO32-(aq) Let s = molar solubility of Li2CO3 excess s 2s s

    (2s)2(s) = 2.510-8 4s3 = 2.510-8 s = -8

    32.510

    4 = 0.18 M

    We can conclude that Li2CO3 is more soluble than MgCO3. Thus, the expected order of increasing solubility in water is: MgCO3 < Li2CO3 < Na2CO3.

    6. (M) We know sodium metal was produced at the cathode from the reduction of sodium ion, Na+. Thus, hydroxide must have been involved in oxidation at the anode. The hydrogen in hydroxide ion already is in its highest oxidation state and thus cannot be oxidized. This leaves oxidation of the hydroxide ion to elemental oxygen as the remaining reaction.

    Net : 4 4 4Na OH Na(l) + O (g) + 2 H O(g)+ 2 2 7. (M) (a) H (g)2 and Cl (g)2 are produced during the electrolysis of NaCl(aq). The electrode reactions are:

    Anode, oxidation: 2Cl (aq) Cl (g) + 2e2

    Cathode, reduction: 2 22H O(l) + 2e H (g) + 2OH (aq)

    We can compute the amount of OH produced at the cathode.

    9. (M) (a) We first compute the mass of NaHCO3 that should be produced from 1.00 ton

    NaCl, assuming that all of the Na in the NaCl ends up in the NaHCO3. We use the unit, ton-mole, to simplify the calculations.

    (b) NH3 is used in the principal step of the Solvay process to produce a solution in which NaHCO3 is formed and from which it will precipitate. The filtrate contains NH Cl,4 from which NH3 is recovered by treatment with Ca(OH)2 . Thus, NH3 is simply used

    during the Solvay process to produce the proper conditions for the desired reactions. Any net consumption of NH3 is the result of unavoidable losses during production.

    16. (M) (a) MgO vs. BaO: MgO would have the higher melting point because, although Mg2+ and Ba2+ have the same charge, Mg2+ is a smaller ion. Smaller ions have a larger electrostatic attraction to anions (here, in both cases, the anion is O2), which is due to the smaller charge separation (Coulomb's law).

    (b) MgF2 vs. MgCl2 solubility in water. F is smaller than Cl, hence, electrostatic attraction between Mg2+ and the halide is greater in F than Cl. If we assume that hydration of the ions is similar, we expect that MgF2 is less soluble than MgCl2. (Note: Ksp given for MgF2, which is sparingly soluble, while no Ksp value is given for readily soluble MgCl2.)

(D) Let us compute the value of the equilibrium constant for each reaction by combining

    the two solubility product constants. Large values of equilibrium constants indicate that the reaction is displaced far to the right. Values of K that are much smaller than 1 indicate that the reaction is displaced far to the left.

    This reaction would occur to some extent, but certainly not to completion. 21. (M) The SO42 ion is a large polarizable ion. A cation with a high polarizing power

    will polarize the SO42 ion and kinetically assist the decomposition to SO3. Because Be2+ has the largest charge density of the group 2 cations, we expect Be2+ to be the most polarizing and thus, BeSO4 will be the least stable with respect to decomposition.

    22. (M) The CO32 ion is a large polarizable ion. A cation with a high polarizing power

    will polarize the CO32 ion and kinetically assist the decomposition to CO2. A cation with a low polarizing power will not polarize the anion as much; thus, the decomposition of CO32 to CO2 will not occur as readily in the presence of such a cation. Because Ba2+ has the smallest charge density of the group 2 cations, we expect Ba2+ to be the least polarizing; thus, BaSO4 will be the most stable with respect to decomposition.

    Group 13: The Boron Family 23. (M) (a) 4 10B H contains a total of 4 3 +10 1 = 22 valence electrons or 11 pairs. Ten of

    these pairs could be allocated to form 10 BH bonds, leaving but one pair to bond the four B atoms together, which is clearly an electron deficient situation.

    (b) In our analysis in part (a), we noted that the four B atoms had but one electron pair to bond them together. To bond these four atoms into a chain requires three electron pairs. Since each electron pair in a bridging bond replaces two normal bonds, there must be at least two bridging bonds in the 4 10B H molecules. By analogy with 2 6B H , we might write the structure below left. But this structure uses only a total of 20 electrons. (The bridge bonds are shown as dots, normal bondselectron pairsas dashes.) In the structure at right below, we have retained some of the form of 2 6B H , and produced a compound with the formula 4 10B H and 11 electron pairs. (The experimentally determined structure of 4 10B H consists of a four-membered ring of alternating B and H atoms, held together by bridging bonds. Two of the B atoms have two H atoms bonded to each of them by normal covalent bonds. The other two B atoms have one H atom covalently bonded to each. One final BB bond joins these last two B atoms, across the diameter of the ring.). See the diagram that follows:

    29. (M) One method of analyzing this reaction is to envision the HCO3

    ion as a combination of CO2 and OH

    . Then the OH reacts with Al3+ and forms Al OH 3 . This method of envisioning HCO3

    does have its basis in reality. After all,

    Al3+ aq + 3 HCO3 aq Al OH 3 s + 3 CO2 g

    Al(s) is resistant to corrosion only over the pH range 4.5 to 8.5. Thus, aluminum is inert only when the medium to which it is exposed is neither highly acidic nor highly basic.

    But, of these two solid hydroxides, only Al OH 3 s redissolves in excess OH aq . Al OH 3 s + OH aq Al OH 4 aq Thus, the analytical procedure consists of dissolving the sample in HCl(aq) and then treating the resulting solution with NaOH(aq) until a precipitate forms. If this precipitate dissolves completely in excess NaOH(aq), the sample is aluminum 2S. If at least some of the precipitate does not dissolve, the sample was magnesium.

    Group 14: The Carbon Family 39. (E) In the sense that diamonds react imperceptibly slowly at room temperature (either with

    oxygen to form carbon dioxide, or in its transformation to the more stable graphite), it is essentially true that diamonds last forever. However, at elevated temperatures, diamond will burn to form CO2(g) and thus the statement is false. Also, the transformation

    C(diamond) C(graphite) might occur more rapidly under other conditions. Eventually, of course, the conversion to graphite occurs.

    40. (E) The graphite in the pencil lead is a good dry lubricant that will make slippery the

    stickiness (or reluctance) in the lock and enable it to work smoothly. The key carries the graphite to the site that needs to be lubricated within the lock mechanism.

The silica is produced in many forms depending on reaction conditions: a colloidal dispersion, a gelatinous precipitate, or a semisolid gel.

However, the carbonates will dissolve in acids (witness the reaction of acid rain on limestone carvings and marble statues, both forms of 3CaCO ), while the silicates will not.

    47. (D) Muscovite or white mica has the formula KAl2(OH)2(AlSi3O10). Since they are not

    segregated into O2 units in the formula, all of the oxygen atoms in the mineral must be in the 2 oxidation state. Potassium is obviously in the +1 oxidation state, as are the hydrogen atoms in the hydroxyl groups. Up to this point, we have -24 from the twelve oxygen atoms and +3 from the potassium and hydrogen atoms for a net number of -21 for the oxidation state. We still have three aluminum atoms and three silicon atoms to account for. In oxygen-rich salts such as mica, we would expect that the silicon and the aluminum atoms would be in their highest possible oxidation states, namely +4 and +3, respectively. Since the salt is neutral, the oxidation numbers for the silicon and aluminum atoms must add up to +21. This is precisely the total that is obtained if the silicon and aluminum atoms are in their highest possible oxidation states: (3 (+3) + 3 (+4) = +21). Consequently, the empirical formula for white muscovite is consistent with the expected oxidation state for each element present.

    48. (D) Crysotile asbestos has the formula [Mg3Si2O5(OH)4]. Since they are not segregated to

    O2 units in the formula, all of the oxygen atoms in the mineral must be in the 2 oxidation state. The three magnesium atoms are obviously in the +2 oxidation state, while hydrogen atoms in the hydroxyl groups have an oxidation state of +1. Up to this point, then, the sum of the oxidation numbers equals 8 (18 from O-atoms, +6 from Mg-atoms, and + 4 from H-atoms). Since the mineral is neutral, the two silicon atoms must have oxidation states that sum to +8 (8 + 8 = neutral mineral), therefore, each silicon would need to be in the +4 oxidation state. In oxygenrich salts such as asbestos, we would expect that the silicon atoms would be in their highest possible oxidation state, namely +4. Thus, the oxidation states for the element, in this mineral are precisely consistent with expectations.

    INTEGRATIVE AND ADVANCED EXERCISES

    55. (M) What most likely happened is that a deliquescent solid has absorbed water vapor from the air over time and formed a saturated solution. This saturated solution can be used in any circumstance where the solid would be used to prepared an aqueous solution. Of course, the concentration will have to be determined by some means other than weighing, such as a gravimetric analysis or using a standard to react with the substance in a titration. Alternatively, the saturated solution can be heated in a drying oven to drive off the water and the solid may be recovered. Often, unfortunately, a solid with an unknown percent of water results from this treatment.

    56. (D) (a) A solution of CO2(aq) has [CO32-] = Ka2[H2CO3] = 5.610-11 M. Since the Ksp = 2.810-9 for CaCO3, the [Ca2+] needed to form a precipitate from this solution can be computed.

    [Ca2+] = -9

    sp2+ -11

    2.8 10= = 50. M[Ca ] 5.6 10

    K

    This is too high to reach by dissolving CaCl2 in solution. The reason a solid forms is that the OH- produced by the Ca(OH)2 neutralized some of the HCO3- from the ionization of CO2(aq), thereby increasing the [CO32-] above a value of 5.610-11 M.

    (b) The equation for redissolving can be obtained by combining several equations.

    CaCO3(s) Ca2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) Ksp = 2.810-9 CO32-(aq) + H3O+(aq) HCO3-(aq) + H2O(l) 1/Ka2 = 1/(5.610-11) CO2(aq) + 2 H2O(l) HCO3-(aq) + H3O+(aq) Ka1 = 4.210-7

    CaCO3(s) + CO2(aq) + H2O(l) Ca2+(aq) + 2 HCO3-(aq) K =

    Ksp Ka1Ka2

    -5 = [Ca2+ ][HCO3

    -]2

    [CO2]

    If CaCO3(s) is precipitated from 0.005 M Ca2+(aq) and then redissolved, [Ca2+] = 0.005 M and [HCO3-] = 20.005 M = 0.010 M. We use these values in the above expression to compute the [CO2].

    [CO2] = [Ca2+ ][HCO3

    -]2

    (2.110-5) = 0.002 M We repeat the calculation for saturated Ca(OH)2, in which [OH-] = 2 [OH-], after

    first determining [Ca2+] in this solution.

    (2.110-5) = (0.011)(0.022)2

    2.110-5 = 0.25 M Thus, to redissolve the CaCO3 requires that the [CO2] = 0.25 M, assuming the solution is initially saturated with Ca(OH)2(aq).

    (c) follow the solution for (b) above.

    57. (M) There are two principal reasons why the electrolysis of NaCl(l) is used to produce sodium commercially rather than the electrolysis of NaOH(l). First, NaCl is readily available whereas NaOH is produced from the electrolysis of NaCl(aq). Thus the raw material NaCl is much cheaper than is NaOH. Second, but less important, when sodium is produced from the electrolysis of NaCl(l), a by-product is Cl2(g), whereas O2(g) is a by-product of the production of NaOH(l). Since O2(g) can be produced more cheaply by the fractional distillation of liquid air, Cl2(g) can be sold for a higher price than O2(g). Thus, the two reasons for producing sodium from NaCl(l) rather than NaOH(l) are a much cheaper raw material and a more profitable by-product.

    58. (M) The triiodide ion is linear (AX2E3). The Li+ ion has a high charge density and significant polarizing power. The Li+ ion will polarize the I3 to a significant extent and presumably assists the decomposition of I3 to I2 and I.

    All the ohydr.S values are negative because, in the process, a gas is being converted into a liquid solution. However, ohydr.S is most negative for Li+. The ohydr.S values increase as we move down the group from Li+ to Cs+. As the charge density and polarizing power of the metal cation decreases, so too does the degree of order (or organization) in the hydration sphere. Thus, the entropy change should be most negative for Li+ and least negative for Cs+.

    61. (M) (a) Use the Kapustinskii equation in the form 120, 200 34.51z zUr r r r

    , with

    r+ and r in picometers, to calculate U in kJ mol1. For LiO2, z+ = +1, z = 1, and = 2. (b) When we apply the BornFajansHaber cycle to the reaction Li(s) + O2(g) LiO2(s), we get ofH = of,Li(g)H + IE(1)Li 43 + U. Values of of,Li(g)H and IE(1)Li are given in Appendix D and in Table 21.2, respectively. (c) For the reaction 2 LiO2(s) Li2O(s) + 32 O2(g),

    (b) If the mass of product formed from the starting Mg differs from the 0.332 g MgO predicted, then the product could be a mixture of magnesium nitride and magnesium oxide. This scenario is not implausible since molecular nitrogen is readily available in the atmosphere. (s)NMg(g)NMg(s) 3 232

    We can use a technique similar to determining the percent abundance of an isotope. Let f = the mass fraction of MgO in the product. The (1.000 f) is the mass fraction of Mg3N2 in the product. product mass = mass MgO f + [mass Mg3N2 (1.000 f)] 0.315 g product = 0.332 f + [0.277 (1.000 f)] = 0.277 + f(0.332 0.277)

    63. (M) Reaction (21.4) is K(g) NaCl(l) Na(l)KCl(l) C850 It is practical when the reactant element is a liquid and the product element is a gas at the same temperature.

    (a) Since Li has a higher boiling point (1347C) than K (773.9C), a reaction similar to (21.4) is not a feasible way of producing Li metal from LiCl.

    (b) On one hand, Cs has a lower boiling point (678.5C) than K (773.9C), and thus a reaction similar to (21.4) is a feasible method of producing Cs metal from CsCl. However, the ionization energy of Na is considerably larger than that of Cs, making it difficult to transfer an electron from Na to Cs+.

    The amount of Ca2+ that has precipitated equals the amount of HCO3 in solution, since each mole of HCO3 is transformed into 1 mole of CO32, which reacts with and then precipitates one mole of Ca2+. Thus the amount of Ca2+ that has precipitated is (0.602)(1.44) = 0.867 mol Ca2+ as CaCO3(s). Then we can determine the concentration of Ca2+ remaining in solution.

    This carbonate ion concentration can readily be achieved by adding solid Na2CO3.

    the reaction occurs at a temperature that is much higher than 298 K.

    Thus, there are 97 mol H2O in every 100 mol solution. The remaining 3 moles are 1 mol Pb2+ and 2 mol NO3. Thus there is 1 mol Pb(NO3)2 for every 97 mol H2O. Compute the mass of Pb(NO3)2 in 100 g H2O.

    If we did not assume complete ionization of Pb(NO3)2, we would obtain 3 moles of un-ionized Pb(NO3)2 in solution for every 97 moles of H2O. Then there would be 57 g Pb(NO3)2 dissolved in 100 g H2O. A handbook gives the solubility as 56 g Pb(NO3)2/100 g H2O, indicating only partial dissociation or, more probably, extensive re-association into ion pairs, triplets, quadruplets, etc.

    71. (M) Considerable energy is required to produce the Pb4+ cationfour ionization steps, one for the removal of each electron. It therefore needs quite a large lattice energy to compensate for its energy of production. Both Br and I are large anions, and therefore the Pb4+Br and Pb4+I interionic distances are long. But lattice energy depends on the charge of the cation (which is quite large) multiplied by the charge of the anion (which is reasonably small) divided by the square of the interionic distance (long, as we have said). Thus, we predict a small lattice energy that is insufficient to stabilize the Pb4+ cation. We would predict, however, that PbF4 and PbCl4 (both with small anions) and PbO2 and PbS2 (both with small, highly charged anions) would be stable compounds. In addition, notice that Eo {Pb4+|Pb2+} = 1.5 V (from Table 21-6) is sufficient to oxidize Br to Br2 and I to I2, since Eo {Br2|Br} = +1.065 V and Eo {I2|I} = +0.535 V. Thus, even if PbI4 or PbBr4 could be prepared they would be thermodynamically unstable.

    75. (M) The density of each metal depends on two factors: its atomic size and the masses of the individual atoms. Density is thus, proportional to the atomic mass divided by the cube of the atomic radius. We calculate this ratio for each of the elements.

    We see that the calculated ratios follow the same pattern as the densities: Na K Li, thus explaining why Na has a higher density than both Li and K.

    In this reaction, Li(s) is being oxidized to Li+(aq). If we wish to compare this to the reduction potential for Li+(aq) being reduced to Li(s), we would have to reverse the reaction, which would result in the same answer only as a negative value. Alternatively, we can change the sign of the oxidation potential (Li Li+) to -2.87 V for the reduction potential for Li+ Li.

    (it apears as -3.040 V in Appendix D; here, we see much better agreement.) (b) S = Sproducts - Sreactants

    As mentioned in part (a) of this question, we have calculated the oxidation potential for the half reaction Li(s) Li+(aq) + e-. The reduction potential is the reverse half-reaction and has a potential of -3.03 V. This is in excellent agreement with -3.040 V given in Appendix D.

    (b) The pH of the lake will be determined by the amphiprotic bicarbonate ion, (HCO3),

    which hydrolyzes in water (1a

    K = 4.4 107 or 1apK = 6.36 and 2aK = 4.7 1011 or

    2apK = 10.33). We saw earlier (Chapter 18, Exercise 100) that the pH of a

    solution of alanine, a diprotic species is independent of concentration (as long as it is

    31.5 g of salt per liter of seawater

    307 g of salt per gal. of lake water (3.7854 L/gal)

    relatively concentrated). The pH = 1 2a a(p p )2

    K K = (6.36 10.33)2 = 8.35

    This is not as basic as the actual pH of the lake. Addition of borax (sodium salt of boric acid) would aid in increasing the pH of the solution (since borax contains an anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid). The lake may be more basic due to the presence of other basic anions, namely carbonate ion (CO32).

    (c) Tufa are mostly made of calcium carbonate (CaCO3(s)). Since they form near

    underwater springs, one must assume that the springs have a high concentration of calcium ion (Ca2+(aq)). We then couple this with the fact that the lake has a high salinity (high carbonate and bicarbonate ion content). We can thus conclude that two major reactions are most likely responsible for the formation of a tufa (see below):

    Ca2+(aq) + CO32(aq) CaCO3(s) Ca2+(aq) + 2 HCO3(aq) Ca(HCO3)2(q) CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

    SELF-ASSESSMENT EXERCISES 80. (E) (a) A dimer is a chemical or biological entity consisting of two structurally similar

    subunits called monomers, which are joined by bonds, which can be strong or weak. (b) An adduct is a product of a direct addition of two or more distinct molecules, resulting in a single reaction product containing all atoms of all components, with formation of two chemical bonds and a net reduction in bond multiplicity in at least one of the reactants. (c) Calcination is a thermal treatment process applied to ores and other solid materials in order to bring about a thermal decomposition, phase transition, or removal of a volatile fraction. (d) An amphoteric oxide is an oxide that can act both as an acid and as a base. An example is aluminum oxide Al2O3. (e) A three-center two-electron bond is an electron deficient chemical bond where three atoms share two electrons. The combination of three atomic orbitals form three molecular orbitals: one bonding, one non-bonding, and one anti-bonding. The two electrons go into the bonding orbital, resulting in a net bonding effect and constituting a chemical bond among all three atoms.

    81. (E) (a) A diagonal relationship exists between certain pairs of diagonally adjacent

    elements in the second and third periods of the periodic table. These pairs (Li and Mg, Be and Al, B and Si, etc.) exhibit similar properties. For example boron and silicon are both semiconductors. (b) One way to prepare deionized water is by passing it through an ion exchange column. The latter is composed of insoluble chemicals which remove both positive and negative ions from water. (c) Thermite is a pyrotechnic composition of a metal powder and a metal oxide, which produces an aluminothermic reaction known as a thermite reaction.

    (d) The inert pair effect is the tendency of the outermost s electrons to remain un-ionized or unshared in post-transition compounds.

    82. (E) (a) A peroxide is a compound containing an oxygen-oxygen single bond. Superoxide

    is an anion with the chemical formula O2- .

    (b) Calcium oxide (CaO) is commonly known as burnt lime, lime or quicklime. Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) on the other hand is commonly known as slaked lime, hydrated lime, or slack lime. (c) Soap is an anionic surfactant used in conjunction with water for washing and cleaning. Soap consists of sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids and is obtained by reacting common oils or fats with a strong alkaline solution in a process known as saponification. Detergents, on the other hand, are prepared synthetically. (d) A silicate is a compound containing an ion in which one or more central silicon atoms are surrounded by electronegative ligands. Silicones are compounds containing silicon-oxygen and silicon-carbon bonds that have the capability to act as bonding intermediates between glass and organic compounds, and to form polymers with useful properties such as impermeability to water, flexibility and resistance to chemical attack. (e) The sol-gel process is a chemical solution deposition technique widely used in the fields of materials science and ceramic engineering. Typical precursors are metal alkoxides and metal chlorides, which undergo various forms of hydrolysis and polycondensation reactions.

    86. (M) The thermite reaction is evidence that aluminum will readily extract oxygen from

    Fe2O3. Aluminum can be used for making products that last and for structural purposes,

    because aluminum develops a coating of Al2O3 that protects the metal beneath it.
