4.2 3 and 4 Flashcards
halide ions
act as reducing agents
sulfuric acid ionisation
h+
HSO4 2-
SO42-
sulfuric acid
can act as an oxidising agent -when acts as an oxidising agent it is reduced
sulfuric acid and halides possible products
sulfur dioxide ,sulfur and hydrogen sulfide
NaCl+H2SO4
misty fumes get HCl
NaBr+H2SO4
misty fumes
brown fumes
colourless gas with choking smell
HBr Br2 SO2
NaI+H2SO4
misty fumes purple fumes or black solid colourless gas with a choking smell yellow solid colourless gas with a rotten egg smell HI I2 S02 S H2S (hydrogen sulfide)
misty fumes
hydrogen chloride
brown fumes
bromine
black solid
iodine
sodium chloride
sulfuric acid behaves only as an acid as has such a low reducing power
sodium bromide
cause sulfuric acid to be reduced
sodium iodide
causes sulfuric acid to be reduced
how to test for halides in solution
silver nitrate solution dilute nitric acid is added before to ensure any of other anions espically carbonate ions are removed as they would form precipitate if a preciptate obstained add ammonia solution dilute or concentrated
chloride ions test result
white precipitate
soluble in dilute and concentrated aqueous ammonia
