Chromium, manganese, and barium are all examples of metals that can be prepared in a pure form by combining oxides of theses elements with reactive metals. When aluminum is chosen as the reactive metal, the process is referred to as the Goldschmidt process or the Thermite process. a.) What type of reaction is the Goldschmidt process? b.) Write the formulas for the common oxides formed by chromium, manganese, and barium. c.) Predict the products formed by each of the three oxides in the Goldschmidt process, using a balanced chemical equation.
The alkali metals play virtually the same general chemical role in all their reactions. (a) What is this role? (b) How is it based on atomic properties? (c) Using sodium, write two bal-anced equations that illustrate this role.
The precious metal platinum was first used by indigenous peoples of South America, who found impure, native samples of it in the Au mines of what is now Ecuador and used the samples to make small items of jewelry. Platinum’s high melting point (1772oC) makes it harder to work than Au (1064oC) and Ag (962oC), but this same property and a high resistance to chemical attack make Pt suitable as a material for high-temperature crucibles. Although Pt is a noble metal, in the +4 and +2 states it forms a variety of compounds, many of which are coordination complexes. Its coordinating abilities make it an important catalyst for organic and inorganic reactions. Draw coordination complex trans-Platinum diammine dichloride and label the Pt with its oxidation number. For Pt4+, draw energy level diagrams of the d-AOs and show orbital occupancy in both weak and strong octahedral fields. Calculate the total spin for each case. Calculate the CFSE (crystal field stabilization energy) in terms of Δ0 for…

The anticancer cisplatin (mentioned during lectures) can be prepared from K2PtCl6 via reduction with hydrazine (N2H4), giving K2PtCl4, followed by replacement of the 2 Cl ion ligands with NH3. Give the names to the three platinum compounds referred to. Draw coordination complex trans-Platinum diammine dichloride and label the Pt with its…

As you move down a family (group) of the periodic table the size of atoms increases from period 2 to period 3 by about 30-40 pm. For example, the radius of B is 84 pm and the radius of Al is 121 pm. However, as you move from aluminum (radius of 121 pm) to gallium (radius of 122 pm) the radius only increases by 1 pm. Which of the following explains this small increase in radius from Al to Ga? Select one: a. the scandide contraction b. the lanthanide contraction c. the mercurate elongation d. the zincate elongation e. Aluminum is just larger than you might expect.
