Group2: Trends Chemical and Physical Properties 1) a) A group 2 metal, X, fizzes when added to water. When a solution of sodium sulphate is added to a solution of XCl2, a white precipitate is formed. Identify X and write equations for reactions occurring. Identity of X ………………....................................................................................................................................... Reaction with water ………..................................................................................................................................... Reaction of XCl2 with sodium sulphate …............................................................................................................... (3) b) A group 2 metal, Y, has no visible reaction when added to water. When a solution of potassium hydroxide is added to a solution the nitrate of X, a white precipitate is formed. Identify Y and write equations for reactions occurring. Identity of Y ………………...................................................................................................................................... Reaction of nitrate of X with potassium hydroxide….............................................................................................
