21.12. Place the following oxides in order of
increasing basicity: Na2O, Al2O3, SiO2, SO3.
21.14. Complete and balance the equations for
the following reactions.
K(s) + I2(g)
Ba(s) + O2(g)
Al(s) + S8(s)
Si(s) + Cl2(g)
21.24. (a) Write equations for the half-reactions that occur at the cathode and
the anode when an aqueous solution of KCl is electrolyzed. Which chemical
species is oxidized, and which chemical species is reduced in this reaction?
(b) Predict the products formed when an aqueous solution of CsI is electrolyzed.
21.26. Calcium reacts with hydrogen gas at 300−400 °C to form a hydride. This
compound reacts readily with water, so it is an excellent drying agent for
organic solvents. (a) Write a balanced equation showing the formation of
calcium hydride from Ca and H2. (b) Write a balanced equation for the reaction
of calcium hydride with water (Figure 21.6).
21.36. (a) Write an equation for the reaction of Al and H2O to produce
H2 and Al2O3. (b) Using thermodynamic data in Appendix L, calculate
DH°, DS°, and DG° for this reaction. Do these data indicate that the
reaction should favor the products? (c) Why is aluminum metal
unaffected by water?
21.42. "Aerated" concrete bricks are widely used building materials. They are obtained
by mixing gas-forming additives with a moist mixture of lime, sand, and possibly cement.
Industrially, the following reaction is important:
2 Al(s) + 3 Ca(OH)2(s)+ 6 H2O(l) [3 CaO . Al2O3 . 6 H2O](s) + 3 H2(g)
Assume that the mixture of reactants contains 0.56 g of Al for each brick. What volume
of hydrogen gas do you expect at 26 °C and atmospheric pressure (745 mm Hg)?
21.54. Unlike carbon, which can form extended chains of atoms,
nitrogen can form chains of very limited length. Draw the Lewis
electron dot structure of the azide ion,N3-.
