About this lab

Run seven tests on magnesium, calcium, strontium and barium side by side, predict each trend down the group and write the equations.

You will be able to

Describe, and write equations for, the reactions of the Group 2 elements with oxygen, water and dilute hydrochloric acid.
State the variation in solubility of the Group 2 hydroxides and sulfates.
Describe and write equations for the thermal decomposition of the carbonates and nitrates, and state the trend in thermal stability.
