Flashcards based on lecture notes for exam preparation.

What is the balanced chemical equation for hydrolysis of Magnesium?

Mg + 2H2O -> Mg(OH)2 (s) + H2 (g)

During the hydrolysis of Magnesium, what are the oxidizing and reducing agents?

Oxidizing Agent: H2O -> H2 (gains electrons, reduced), Reducing Agent: Mg -> Mg2+ (loses electrons, oxidized)

What does Aspirin hydrolyze into, and what is the odor?

Aspirin hydrolyzes into salicylic acid (C7H6O3) and acetic acid (CH3COOH), which has a vinegar-like odor.

What is the balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of Phosphorus pentachloride?

PCl5 + 4H2O -> H3PO4 + 5HCl

What acids are produced during the hydrolysis of Phosphorus pentachloride?

Acid Produced: H3PO4 (Phosphoric Acid), Acid Produced: HCl (Hydrochloric Acid)

What is the balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of Aluminum chloride?

AlCl3 + 3H2O -> Al(OH)3 (s) + 3HCl

What acid is produced, and what base is formed during the hydrolysis of Aluminum chloride?

Acid Produced: HCl, Base Formed: Al(OH)3 (precipitate)

What is the result of the Litmus test during the hydrolysis of Aluminum chloride?

Solution turns blue litmus red, confirming acidity.
