Elemental Metals Synthesis by electrolysis 2 KOH K (m) + ½ O2 (g) + H2O (l) Sir Humphrey Davy, 1807 (K, Na) Reactivities: M (m) + H2O MOH (aq) + ½ H2 (g) Li is rapid; Na to Cs is increasingly violent, explosive
Exchange / Displacement • Large ion salt + small ion salt is better than two salts with large and small ions combined. Example: Salt ΔHL sum CsF 750 NaI 705 1455 kJ/mol CsI 620 NaF 926 1546 • This can help predict some reactions like displacements, ion exchange, thermal stability.

Thermal stability of metal carbonates • An important industrial reaction involves the thermolysis of metal carbonates to form metal oxides according to: MCO3 (s) → MO (s) + CO2 (g) • DG must be negative for the reaction to proceed. At the lowest reaction temp: DG = 0 and Tmin = DH / DS • DS is positive because gas is liberated. As T increases, DG becomes more negative (i.e. the reaction becomes more favorable). DS depends mainly on DS0{CO2(g)} and is almost independent of M.
Thermal stability of metal carbonates MCO3 (s) → MO (s) + CO2 (g) • Tmin almost directly proportional to DH. • DHL favors formation of the oxide (smaller anion) for smaller cations. • So Tmin for carbonates should increase with cation size.
