Hydrogen and S-Block Element: Compounds of Hydrogen and Hydrogen Peroxide
Compounds of Hydrogen
Water
- This oxide of hydrogen is essential to all life.
- It occurs in the form of snow, water in rivers, lakes, sea etc. and as vapour in the atmosphere.
- Water is covalent compound made up of two hydrogen atoms linked with one oxygen atom through covalent bond.
- Lewis structure and molecular structure of water are shown below.
- Water molecule is highly polar because of higher electro-negativity of Oxygen.
- The remarkable characteristic of water is in solid form, it is less dense than liquid form and leads to an ice cube floats on water.
- In Solid form, Water molecules are together in an extensive three-dimensional network in which oxygen atom is bonded to four hydrogen atoms, two by hydrogen bonds and two by normal covalent bonds, in a near tetrahedral hydrogen bonded structure (Fig) Which has got an open space. This is responsible for its low density.
Heavy Water
- Water containing deuterium in place of ordinary hydrogen (protium) is termed as heavy water .
- Heavy water is separated from water by electrolysis.
- The equilibrium constant for the dissociation of water containing protium is very high as compared to water containing deuterium .
- If water is electrolyzed, is liberated much faster than because bonds are broken more rapidly than bonds and the remaining water becomes enriched in heavy water .
- To obtain one litter of , we have to electrolyze about 30000 litters of ordinary water.
Uses of Heavy Water
- Heavy water is used as a moderator in nuclear reactors.
- It is used in the study of mechanism of chemical reactions involving hydrogen.
- It is used as the starting material for the preparation of a number of deuterium compounds, for example:
Hydrogen Peroxide
Chemical formula for Hydrogen peroxide is .
Method of Preparation of Hydrogen Peroxide
By the action of dilute mineral acids on metallic peroxides (barium peroxide, sodium peroxide)
By the electrolysis of followed by distillation
At cathode:
At anode:
The anodic solution which contains per sulphate ions is distilled sulphuric acid at reduced pressure yielding :
