Periodicity 11.1. Complete the diagram showing the formulae of the period 3 oxides, their pH in water, the nature of the oxide and the species present in the solution. Oxide pH in water Nature of oxide Species present in water Na 2 O 14 Basic MgO Al 2 O 3 - SiO 2 Acidic - P 4 O 10 SO 2 SO 3 0 H 2 SO 4
Periodicity 11.3.
1. Complete the table to show the bonding present in the period 3 oxides. Oxide Na 2 O MgO Al 2 O 3 SiO 2 P 4 O 10 SO 2 SO 3 Bonding (4 marks) (a) Explain why Al 2 O 3 displays amphoteric properties with reference to the ions present. (2 marks) (b) In water, SiO 2 maintains a pH of 7. With reference to the structure and bonding in SiO 2 explain this observation. (1 mark) (c) Na 2 O reacts with water to give a solution with a pH of 14 whereas MgO reacts with water to give a solution with a pH of 10. Write equations for both reactions and explain the observed differences in pH. (3 marks)
