Q

Why do carbonates and nitrates become more stable down the group?

A

Large ions have less polarising power so distort the electron cloud less and have a lower charge density. Therefore, they distort the carbonate or nitrate less

47
Q

Why is a colour produced during a flame test?

A

The electrons are excited to a higher energy level and then as they drop back down, they release the energy in the form of light.

48
Q

What determines the wavelength of light produced in a flame test?

A

The difference between the higher and lower energy levels

49
Q

What is the solubility of halogens?

A

It decreases

55
Q

How do the melting and boiling points of halogens change down the group?

A

They increase

56
Q

Why do melting and boiling points increase down group 7?

A

I-

59
Q

What redox property do halogens have?

A

They are reducing agents

72
Q

What are the equations for the reactions between Kl and H2SO4?

A

KI + H2SO4 —-> KHSO4 + HI
2HI + H2SO4 —-> I2 + SO2 + 2H2O

The precipitate remains unchanged in dilute, but will dissolve in conc ammonia

82
Q

How does AgI behave with ammonia?

A

The precipitate will not dissolve, even in conc ammonia

83
Q

What is the test for carbonates?

A

Add dilute hydrochloric acid and use lime water to test for any CO2 given off

84
Q

What is the test for Sulfates?

A

Add dilute HCl and BaCl2. If a white precipitate forms, a sulfate is present

85
Q

How is ammonia tested for?

A

It is alkaline, so damp red litmus paper can be used. If ammonia gas is present, the paper will turn blue

86
