Chapter 19, Problem 20E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The balanced equations to describe the reaction of $\text{Sr}$ with each ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{,}\text{S,}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\text{,}{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}\text{,}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}},{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and $\text{HCl}$ are to be stated.

Concept introduction: Strontium $\left(\text{Sr}\right)$ is an alkaline earth metal which is found in group $2\text{A}$ in the periodic table. Alkaline earth metals are highly reactive and form ionic compound by losing two valence electrons and contain ${\text{M}}^{2+}$ cation.

To determine: The balanced equations to describe the reaction of $\text{Sr}$ with each ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\text{,}\text{S,}{\text{Cl}}_{\text{2}}\text{,}{\text{P}}_{\text{4}}\text{,}{\text{H}}_{\text{2}},{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}$ and $\text{HCl}$.
