Q

As you go down the group 2 hydroxides, do Solubility, Alkalinity and PH increase or decrease

A

Going down group 7
* solubility increases
* pH increases
* alkalinity increases
As solubility increases, the resulting solutions contain more OH-(aq) ions and are more alkaline

41
Q

Why does the boiling point increase going down group 7

A
  • More electrons
  • Stronger London Forces
  • More energy required to break the intermolecular forces
  • Boiling Point increases
42
Q

Does reactivity increase or decrease down group 7

A

Decreases down the group

43
Q

Why does reactiity decrease down group 7

A
  • Atomic Radius increases
  • More inner shell shielding
  • Less attraction to gain an element
  • Reactivity decreases
44
Q

Does oxidising ability increase or decrease down the group

A

Decreases

45
Q

What is Disproportionation

A

A redox reaction in which the same element is both oxidised and reduced

46
Q

Chlorine is an extremely TOXIC gas:
* in small concentrations it is a respiratory irritant.
* in large concentrations it can be fatal.

Chlorine added to drinking water can react with organic hydrocarbons, such as methane, to form chlorinated hydrocarbons – a suspected carcinogen

Observation - Bubbles of gas

59
Q

What is the ionic equation for a Carbonate test

A

CO32-(aq) + 2H+ → CO2(g) + H2O(l)

60
Q

How do you test for sulfates

A

Add barium nitrate to a test tube containing a solution of the unknown compound
Observation – a white precipitate (of barium sulfate) forms

61
Q

What is the ionic equation for the sulfate test

A

Ba2+(aq) + SO42-(aq) → BaSO4(s)

62
Q

What is the order you should perform the anions tests in

A
  1. Carbonate, CO32-
  2. Sulfate, SO42-
  3. Halides, Cl-, Br-, I-
63
Q

Why do you do the anion tests in this order:
1. Carbonate, CO32-
2. Sulfate, SO42-
3. Halides, Cl-, Br-, I-

A
  • If carbonate ions are present when testing for sulfate ions (addition of barium nitrate) – a white precipitate of barium carbonate, BaCO3(s), will form.
  • If carbonate ions and/or sulfate ions are present when testing for halide ions (addition of silver nitrate) – white precipitates of silver carbonate, Ag2CO3(s), and/or silver sulfate, Ag2SO4(s) will form.
