Similarities between Lithium and Magnesium || Points of Similarities between Lithium and Magnesium ||

-

The similarity between lithium and magnesium is particularly striking and arises because of their similar size: atomic radii, L i = 152 pm, Mg = 160 pm; ionic radii : L i+ = 76 pm, Mg 2+ = 72 pm. 

The main points of similarity are : 

» Both lithium and magnesium are harder and lighter than other elements in the respective groups.

» Lithium and magnesium react slowly with water. Their oxides and hydroxides are much lesser soluble and their hydroxides decomposes on heating. Both forms a nitride, Li3 N and Mg3 N2, by direct combination with nitrogen(N2) . 

» The oxides, Li2 O and Mg O do not combine with excess oxygen to give any superoxide.

» The carbonates of lithium and magnesium decompose easily on heating to form the oxides and C O2 . Solid hydrogen carbonates are not formed from lithium and magnesium.  

»Both L i Cl and Mg Cl2 are soluble in ethanol. 

» Both L i Cl and Mg Cl2  are deliquescent and crystallise from aqueous solution as hydrates, L i Cl.2H2O and Mg Cl2 . 6H2O.

Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air?

-
Ques 1 : Why should a magnesium ribbon be cleaned before burning in air? Ans 1: Magnesium is very reactive metal like (Na, C a, etc.). When it expose to air it reacts with oxygen to form a layer magnesium oxide (Mg O) on its surface.                  Mg +  O 2 → 2 Mg O This layer of magnesium oxide is quite stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen. The magnesium ribbon is cleaned by sand paper to remove this layer so that the underlying metal can be used for the reaction. «« Chapter 1 NCERT Solution                                            Next question »»

-
Ques : Di nitrogen and dihydrogen react with each other to produce ammonia according to the following chemical equation:                        N 2 ​ +  H 2  ​ (g)→2  NH 3  ​   (i) Calculate the mass of ammonia produced if 2.00×10 2 g di nitrogen react with 1.00×10 3 g of dihydrogen.  (ii) Will any of the two reactants remain un reacted? (iii) If yes, which one and what would be its mass? Ans : (i) 28.0 g of  N 2  require 6.0 g of  H 2  to produce =34.0 g of NH  ​    2.00 × 10³ g of N 2  will produce = 28/34 ×2.00×10³g of  NH 3    =2.43×10³ g of  NH 3                  = 2430 g  NH 3 ​   (ii) Yes, dihydrogen will remain un reacted to some extent.  (iii) Amount of hydrogen that remains un reacted. 28.0 g of N 2  require 6.0 g of  H 2 ​   2.00 g×1...
