Which of the following alkaline metals react more quickly spontaneously with water?

Calcium

Beryllium

Magnesium

Strontium

Akọwa Nkọwa

The alkaline earth metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ra) are the second most reactive metals in the periodic table, and, like the Group 1 metals, have increasing reactivity in the higher periods. Beryllium (Be) is the only alkaline earth metal that does not react with water or steam, even if metal is heated to red heat. Additionally, beryllium has a resistant outer oxide layer that lowers its reactivity at lower temperatures.

Magnesium shows insignificant reaction with water, but burns vigorously with steam or water vapor to produce white magnesium oxide and hydrogen gas:

Mg(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ Mg(OH)2(s) + H2(g)

A metal reacting with cold water will produce metal hydroxide. However, if a metal reacts with steam, like magnesium, metal oxide is produced as a result of metal hydroxides splitting upon heating.

The hydroxides of calcium, strontium and barium are only slightly water-soluble but produce sufficient hydroxide ions to make the environment basic, giving a general equation of:

M(s) + 2 H2O(l) ⟶ M(OH)2(aq) + H2(g)

Order of reactivity	Metal	Reactions with water or steam
most reactive	potassium (K)	very vigorous reaction with cold water
↑	sodium (Na)	vigorous reaction with cold water
↓	calcium (Ca)	less vigorous reaction with cold water
least reactive	magnesium (Mg)	slow reaction with cold water, vigorous with steam

If metals react with cold water, hydroxides are produced.
Metals that react with steam form oxides.
Hydrogen is always produced when a metal reacts with cold water or steam.

Since we have a higher number of moles of gaseous species on the LHS, i.e 2, a decrease in pressure will favor the forward reaction.

10g

25g

20g

15g

Akọwa Nkọwa

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of stoichiometry and the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV). First, we need to write the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when the solution of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) is heated: Ca(HCO3)2(s) → CaCO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g) From the balanced equation, we can see that 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate. Therefore, we need to determine the number of moles of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) in the solution: Number of moles = concentration x volume Number of moles = 0.50 mol/dm³ x 0.2 dm³ Number of moles = 0.1 mol Since 1 mole of calcium hydrogen trioxocarbonate (IV) produces 1 mole of calcium carbonate, the number of moles of calcium carbonate produced will also be 0.1 mol. Next, we need to use the solubility product constant (Ksp) of calcium carbonate to determine the maximum amount of solid that can be precipitated: Ksp = [Ca²⁺][CO3²⁻] Ksp = 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ (at 25°C) At the maximum amount of solid precipitated, all the calcium carbonate formed will have precipitated, and the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions will be equal. Therefore, we can assume that the concentration of calcium ions and carbonate ions is both x. Substituting into the Ksp expression: Ksp = x² 3.3 x 10⁻⁹ = x² x = 5.74 x 10⁻⁵ mol/dm³ The mass of calcium carbonate precipitated can now be calculated: Mass = number of moles x molar mass Mass = 0.1 mol x 100.1 g/mol Mass = 10.01 g Therefore, the maximum weight of solid precipitated is approximately 10 g. Note that this calculation assumes that all the calcium carbonate precipitated as a solid, which may not always be the case in a real-world experiment. Additionally, this calculation does not take into account any losses due to filtration or other experimental errors.
