Q

Describe the trend of boiling points down group 7

A

Increases from F to I, molecules have more electrons, Van der Waal’s forces become stronger, so more energy needed to overcome forces

Q

Describe the trends in reducing ability of the halide ions

A

Going down the group, reducing ability increases
because halide ion becomes larger as they have more electron shells. Halide ions have greater shielding effect, so it is easier to lose outer electrons as they are less strongly held by nucleus.

Q

Describe the reaction of NaF with conc. H2SO4

A

Acid-base step: NaF(s) +H2SO4 (l) -> NaHSO4(s) +HF(g)
F- ions are not strong enough reducing agents to reduce the S in H2SO4, so no redox reaction occurs
Observation: White steamy fumes

Q

Describe the reaction of NaCl with conc. H2SO4

A

Acid-base step: NaCl(s) + H2SO4(l) -> NaHSO4(s) +HCl(g)
Cl- ions are not strong enough reducing agents to reduce the S in H2SO4, so no redox reaction occurs.
Observation: White steamy fumes

17
Q

Describe the reaction of NaBr with conc. H2SO4

A

Acid-base step: NaBr(s) + H2SO4(s) -> NaHSO4 (s) + HBr(g)
Br- ions are stronger reducing agents, so after acid-base reaction they reduce the sulfur in H2SO4 from +6 to +4 in SO2
Redox step: 2HBr + H2SO4 -> SO2 (g) + Br2 (g) + 2H2O(l)
role of H2SO4 - oxidising agent
Observation:
Orange fumes of bromine evolved and a colourless acidic gas (SO2)

18
Q

Describe the reaction of NaI with conc. H2SO4

A

Acid-base step: NaI (s) +H2SO4(l) -> NaHSO4(s) + HI(g)
I- ions are the strongest halide reducing agents and can reduce sulfur from +6, to +4, to 0, to -2
Redox steps:
2HI + H2SO4 -> SO2(g) + I2(s) + 2H2O(l)
6HI + H2SO4 -> S(s) + 3I2(s) + 4H2O(l)
8HI + H2SO4 -> H2S(g) + 4I2(s) + 4H2O(l)
role of H2SO4: oxidising agent
Observations: White steamy fumes, black solid and purple fumes of iodine evolved, colourless acidic gas (SO2), H2S has with foul egg smell

19
Q

What are the redox equations for the reaction of NaI with conc. H2SO4?

A

Oxidation: 2I- -> 2e- + I2
Reduction:
H2SO4 + 2H+ + 2e- -> SO2 + 2H2O
H2SO4 + 6H+ + 6e- -> S + 4H2O
H2SO4 + 8H+ + 8e- -> H2S + 4H2O

20
Q

What is the reaction when chlorine reacts with water?

A

Redox reaction:
Cl2(g) + H2O(l) <-> HClO(aq) +HCl(aq)
Oxidation half-equation:
H2O + Cl2 -> 2HClO + 2H+ +2e-
Reduction half-equation:
Cl2 + e- -> 2Cl-

21
Q

What is used to test for halide ions?

A

Dilute nitric acid then silver nitrate solution

22
Q

What are the observations when halide ions react with acidified silver nitrate?

A

F- = colourless solution
Cl- = white ppt
Br- = cream ppt/ pale yellow
I- = yellow ppt

23
Q

What is the ionic equation for halide ions reacting with acidified silver nitrate?

A

Ag+ (aq) + X-(aq) -> AgX(s)
- if the halide is given as a solid, make sure it is dissolved in water before doing the test.

24
Q

Why is nitric acid added?

A

To remove carbonate ions that will interfere with the test

25
Q

Why is HCl not used?

A

It interferes with the test (forms a white precipitate)

26
Q

How can you distinguish between ions in a precipitate?

A

Add dilute ammonia solution or concentrated ammonia solution

27
Q

What is the effect of adding dilute ammonia solution to precipitate?

A

Cl- = ppt dissolves
Br- = ppt remains insoluble
I- = ppt remains insoluble

28
Q

What is the effect of adding concentrated ammonia solution to precipitate?

A

Cl- = ppt dissolves
Br- = ppt dissolves
I- = ppt remains insoluble

29
Q

What is the equation when halide precipitate dissolves in ammonia solution?

A

AgCl(s) + 2NH3(q) -> Ag(NH3)2+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
