Beryllium and magnesium do not give colour to flame whereas other alkaline eath metals do so. Why?

Answer» Because of the small size, the ionisation enthalpies of `Be` and `Mg` are much higher than those of other alkaline earth metals. Therefore, they need large amount of energy for excitation of electrons to higher energy levels. Since such a large amount of energy is not available in Bunsen flame, therefore, these metals do not impart any colour to the flame.

Find out the solubility product of CaF2 if solubility of CaF2 is 2.34 g/100 mL(a) 0.108 (mol/L)3(b) 0.072 (mol/L)3(c) 0.036 (mol/L)3(d) 0.032 (mol/L)3

Answer»

(a) 0.108 (mol/L)3

Solubility = 2.34/100 g/ml

Molar mass of CaF= 40 + 19 + 19 = 78 g/ml

Solubility in (mol/L = 2.34/78 x 1000/100 mol/L = 0.3mol / L

CaF\(\rightleftharpoons\) Ca2+ + 2F-

s   2s

Ksp = s x (2s)= 4 s3

Ksp = 4 x (0.3)3 = 0.108 (mol/L)3

State as to why a. A solution of `Na_(2)CO_(3)` is alkaline? b. Alkali metals are prepared by electrolysis of their fused cholorides? c. Sodium is found to be more useful than potassium?

Answer» a. `Na_(2)CO_(3)` is a salt of a weak acid, carbonic acid `(H_(2)CO_(3))` and a strong base sodium hydroxide `(NaOH)`. Therefore, it undergoes hydrolsis to produce strong base `NaOH` and hence its aqueous solution is alkaline in nature.
`Na_(2)CO_(3(s))+H_(2)O_((l))rarrunderset("Strong base")(2NaOH_(aq))+underset("weak acid")(H_(2)CO_(3(aq)))`
b. Since the discharge potential of alkali metals is much higher than that of hydrogen, therefore, when the aqueous solution of any alkali metal chloride is subjected to electrolysis. `H_(2)` instead of the alkali metal is produced at the cathode. Therefore, to prepare alkali metals, electrolysis of their fused chlorides is carried out.
c. Sodium ions are found primarily in the blood plasma and in the interstitial fluid which surrounds the cells while potassium ions are present within the cell fluids. Sodium ions help in the transmission of never signals, in regulating the flow of water across cell membrances and in the transport of sugars and amino acids into the cells. Thus, sodium is found to be more useful than potassium.
