10.3- REACTIONS OF HALIDE IONS Flashcards
Can halide ions act as rerducing agents?
yes
What happens in reaction where the halide ion is a reducing agent?
halide ions lose electrons and become halogen molecules
What is the trend in reducing ability linked to?
linked to size of ions
If the ion is larger, how does this affect how easily it loses an electron?
larger the ion, more easily it loses an electron
Why can larger ions lose an electron more easily?
because electron lost from outer shell which is further from nucleus as ion gets larger so attraction to outer electron less
How does reducing power changes down the halogen group?
reducing power increases
What reaction reflects the reducing power of the halide ions?
solid sodium halides react with concentrated sulphuric acid- products different + reflect reducing power of halide ions
What happens when drops of concentrated sulphuric acid is added to solid sodium chloride?
steamy fumes of hydrogen chloride is seen
What is the solid product formed when sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid react?
sodium hydrogensulfate
What is the symbol equation for the reation between sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid?
NaCl (s) + H2SO4 (l) = NaHSO4 (s) + HCl (g)
When sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid react, is this a redox reaction?
it is not a redox reaction
When sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid react, why is it not a redox reaction?
no oxidation state has changed
Why does no oxidation state change?
chlorine is too weak a reducing agent to reduce sulphur in sulphuric acid
What type of reactions is it when sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid react?
acid-base reaction
What can the sodium chloride and concentrated sulphuric acid reaction be used to prepare?
hydrogen chloride gas
