Study Notes

Cleaning Magnesium Ribbon

  • Magnesium is a highly reactive metal that reacts with oxygen to form a layer of magnesium oxide (MgO) on its surface.
  • The magnesium oxide layer is stable and prevents further reaction of magnesium with oxygen.
  • To remove the magnesium oxide layer, the magnesium ribbon is cleaned with sandpaper, allowing the underlying metal to react.

Balanced Chemical Equations

  • Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form hydrogen chloride: Hâ‚‚ + Clâ‚‚ → 2HCl
  • Barium chloride reacts with aluminium sulphate to form barium sulphate and aluminium chloride: 3BaClâ‚‚ + Alâ‚‚(SOâ‚„)₃ → 2AlCl₃ + 3BaSOâ‚„
  • Sodium reacts with water to form sodium hydroxide and hydrogen: 2Na + 2Hâ‚‚O → 2NaOH + Hâ‚‚
