Properties of Period 3 elements and their oxides (A-level only)

Question 5

This question is about some Period 3 elements and their oxides.

Write an equation for the reaction of phosphorus ( $P4\text{P}_4$ ) with an excess supply of oxygen to form phosphorus(V) oxide ( $P4O10\text{P}_4\text{O}_{10}$ ).

[1]

Describe a test you could carry out in a test tube to distinguish between solid magnesium oxide and solid phosphorus(V) oxide.

[3]

State the type of crystal structure shown in sulfur trioxide ( $SO3\text{SO}_3$ ) and in sodium oxide ( $Na2O\text{Na}_2\text{O}$ ).

[2]

Explain, in terms of structure and bonding, why aluminium oxide ( $Al2O3\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3$ ) has a much higher melting point than sulfur trioxide ( $SO3\text{SO}_3$ ).

[4]

Write an equation for the reaction of sulfur trioxide ( $SO3\text{SO}_3$ ) with excess sodium hydroxide solution.

[1]

Write an equation for the reaction of an excess of magnesium oxide with sulfuric acid ( $H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ ).

[1]

Draw the displayed formula of the undissociated acid formed when sulfur dioxide reacts with water.
