General Equations
Generally, metal reacts with free element to give binary compound (metal …ide).
∆
9. Metallic hydrogencarbonate → metallic carbonate + water + carbon dioxide
For Magnesium
8. Magnesium reacted with concentrated nitric acid (Preparation of ammonia)
Mg + 4HNO 3 (conc)
→ 4Mg(NO 3 ) 2 + 3H 2 O + NH 3
For Calcium
9. Calcium oxide reacts with silica (Preparation calcium silicate)
∆
CaO + SiO 2 → CaSiO 3
14. Calcium chloride reacts with dilute sulphuric acid (Preparation of POP)
CaCl 2 + H 2 SO 4 + 2H 2 O → CaSO 4 .2H 2 O + 2HCl
For Aluminium
17. Reacts with alkali (hot aqueous solution sodium hydroxide)
2Al + 2NaOH + 6H 2 O → 2NaAl(OH) 4 + 3H 2
18. Aluminium hydroxide reacts with alkali (NaOH) (Preparation of sodium aluminate)
Al(OH) 3 + NaOH → NaAl(OH) 4
For Lead
19. Lead (II) oxide is heated at 450-450oC (Preparation of red lead)
−
6PbO + O 2 450 → 2Pb 3 O 4
o
