8C.4 Other reactions of halides Flashcards
how do we test for halide ions in a solution
- add dilute nitric acid
- add a few drops of a silver nitrate solution
- add some ammonia solution
why do we add nitric acid when testing for halide ions
to remove any anions that might form a precipitate such as CO3
what is the precipitate formed by Cl-
white
what is the precipitate formed by Br-
cream
what is the precipitate formed by I-
yellow
what is the general ionic equation and specific equation for the formation of the precipitate
Ag+(aq) + X-(aq) ——-> AgX(s)
AgNO3 + NaCl ——> AgCl + NaNO3
why do we add ammonia solution
to make sure which Halide is formed because it can be hard to tell what color the precipitate is based on its colour only (since they look similar) and it works well since each Halide ion has a different solubility to it
what Ammonia solution is AgI soluble in
both dilute and concentrated
what Ammonia solution is AgI soluble in
only concentrated
what Ammonia solution is AgI soluble in
non it’s insoluble by all
why does a precipitate dissolve
because of the formation of a complex ion
what is the equation between the precipitate and ammonia
AgCl(s) + 2NH3(aq) ——-> {Ag(NH3)2}(aq) + + Cl-(aq)
hydrogen Halides react with after to form
an acidic solution
what is the reaction between hydrogen halides and water
HX + H2O ——> H20 + X^-
what halide forms a reversible reaction when reacting with water and why
F, since it’s only a very weak salt even though it’s very soluble, and maybe cause F is very reactive
what is the name of the acid formed in Hydrogen Halide and water reaction
hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic
hydrogen halide reacts with ammonia to form a
white ionic salts
what is the reaction between Hydrogen halides and ammonia
NH3(g) + HX(g) ——-> NH4X(s)
which gas travels diffuse faster NH3 OR HX
NH3 because it has a lower Mr
how can we set up an experiment to test the diffusing ability of both NH3 and HX
getting a tube and putting on one end wool soaked with concentrated ammonia and one with concentrated hydrogen halide, and then we see where the white ionic salt is formed and decide which travel faster
