  • Group 2
    • Reactions
      • Extraction of titanium: 1:Titanium ore converted to TiCl4 (heating with C in a stream of Cl2(g) )
        • 2: TiCl4 is purified by fractional distillation before being reduced by Mg in a furnace
          • TiCl4(g) + 2Mg(l) => Ti(s) + 2MgCl2(l)
      • Solubility(down the group): x1 charged ions (OH-) increase, 2x charged ions (SO4*2-) decrease
        • BaSO4 is insoluble
          • Test for sulfate: Add dilute HCl, barium chloride, white precipitate
          • Barium meal: BaSO4 being insoluble is used in x-rays (suspension rather than a solution => poisonous)
        • OH- neutralising acids: Ca(OH)2- agriculture, soils Mg(OH)2- antacid
      • Removal of sulfur dioxide from flue gases: Wet Scrubbing (acidic SO2 reacting with an alkali).    CaO / CaCO3 with water
        • CaO(S) + 2H2O(l) + SO2(g) => CaSO3(s) + 2H2O(l)
          • if CO3 used => CO2 produced aswell
      • Reaction with water: metal oxidise to form 2+ ions.  React with H2O to give a metal hydroxide and hydrogen
        • Ca(s) + 2H2o(l) => Ca(OH)2(aq) + H2
    • Properties (as you go down the group)
      • 1st ionisation energy: decreases due to shielding and distance from nucleus increasing
      • Melting Point: Decreases due to ion getting bigger (charge and e- remains the same)
      • reactivity: increases as it's easier to lose electrons
      • Atomic radius: increases because of the increase in electron shells
