Explain the increase in pH on progressing from magnesium oxide to barium oxide?
On progression from magnesium oxide to barium oxide, the metal ion has an increasing atom size, with a decreasing ionisation energy and can easily lose one electron to form more the hydroxide ions (or in another point of view leads to lower activation energy and hence faster reaction) this is why there is an increase in pH.
How can you test for magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide absorbed in water form carbonic acid, H2CO3; the pH become acidic and you can test the solution with a pH paper. A simple test for the magnesium oxide, MgO, is to measure the refractive index (this value is 1,736 for MgO.
Is the magnesium oxide oxidised or reduced during the reaction with steam?
