CHM 1206 INTODUCTION TO INORGANIC AND ORGANIC CHEMISTRY TUTORIAL WORKSHEET 2022/2023 HYDROGEN, HELIUM, ALKALI & ALKALINE EARTH METALS 1. What is meant by a representative element? 2. Hydrogen is often not placed in a group in the periodic table because it does not fit well in any group. In what way(s) is hydrogen similar to and in what way(s) is it different from (a) Group I (b) Group 17 (c) Group 14 3. (a) Write the reaction to show the formation of hydrogen gas from calcium hydride, CaH 2 . (b) Give one reason why hydrogen is better for lifting balloons than helium. (c) What are two disadvantages of hydrogen compared to helium. 4. Identify whether the statement best describes a covalent, ionic or metallic hydride. (a) Reacts vigorously with water to give hydrogen gas (b) Gives off hydrogen gas in a vacuum. (c) A non-stoichiometric compound. (d) White, crystalline solid. (e) Exists as discrete molecules or polymeric structures. 5. Give two examples each of metallic, covalent and ionic hydrides. 6. Give at least one important use of each of the following and relate the application to a physical/chemical property Lithium Potassium Strontium Helium 7. Write balanced chemical equations, stating reaction conditions where necessary, for the reactions below: (a) Sodium with an excess of oxygen. (b) Magnesium with H 2 O (g) (c) Potassium superoxide with carbon dioxide (d) Formation of slaked lime. (e) CaO and HCl. (f) Lithium and nitrogen gas
(g) Cesium and water 8. Identify the element(s) among the s-block (excluding radium and francium) that will have the following properties. (a) Most reactive metal (b) Smallest atomic radius (c) Highest electronegativity (d) Has a yellow flame (e) Its hydroxide is the active ingredient in Milk of Magnesia 9. J is a metal obtained from the electrolysis of the most common ingredient of seawater. When J is heated with K , a white crystalline solid, L is produced as a green vapour along with white crystals of M. L condenses on cooling to a silvery white metal which reacts rapidly with air to produce N , a white solid. N reacts with water producing three compounds: O , a colourless gas which relights a glowing splint, P , a water soluble covalent oxidising agent which slowly decomposes to give more O and water, and Q a water soluble strong base. A solution of M gave a white precipitate R with silver nitrate solution. Identify J to R and write balanced chemical equations for the reactions. 10. a) List Three characteristics of Lithium that is different from the other metals of Group 1 b) List three characteristics that Lithium has in common with Magnesium c) Account for the relationship between Lithium and Magnesium d) Explain why the differences between Lithium and other group 1 metals exist.
