an irritant. Group 2 elements Calcium Strontium Magnesium Beryllium Barium Radium Introduction: The Group 2 elements are all metals with a shiny‚ silvery-white colour having 2 electrons in their outermost shell. The alkaline earth metals are high in the reactivity series of metals‚ but not as high as the alkali metals of Group 1. The metals of Group 2 are harder and denser than sodium and potassium‚ and have higher melting points. These properties are due largely to the presence of

other alkali metals. Because these elements are very similar chemically‚ their separation presented numerous problems before the advent of ion-exchange methods and ion-specific complexing agents such as crown ethers. Once pure salts have been prepared‚ it is a straightforward task to convert them to the free metal. This can be done by electrolysis of the fused cyanide or by reduction with calcium or sodium followed by fractional distillation. Properties Rubidium is an alkali metal in group IA of

present age there is a rapid increase of contaminants in the environment‚ but one of the major global concerns is the heavy metal concentrations in the environment as a result of man’s activities and since the biosphere is a closed system this heavy metals remains on earth and continuously increase as the human population increase. The acute and chronic effects of these heavy metals especially lead have been a worldwide concern. In fact in April 2000 the use of leaded gasoline was phased out in Metro

Thermal Conductivity of Metals and Non-metals 1. Introduction Thermal conductivity is a physical property of materials of great importance. Unlike some physical properties‚ however‚ thermal conductivity cannot be directly measured. In order to determine a material’s thermal conductivity‚ intermediate quantities must be determined from which the conductivity may be ultimately calculated. The objective of this lab was to determine the thermal conductivity of metals. To do so‚ it was necessary to study

United Metals has decided to launch the production of a new product‚ the firm is expecting this project to last over 8 years. The issue at hand is to know whether it would be more advantageous for United Metals to produce the components itself or to directly buy them from one of its suppliers‚ Amalgamated Components. In order to arbitrage between the “make” and “buy” decision we will calculate the Net Present Value of both these options. In order to do so we will first compute the annual cash flows
