Elements From The Sea Flashcards
How do you calculate atom economy?
Mr of useful products/ total Mr of products x 100
What forms at the anode if the solution contains halide ions?
Halogen
What happens at the anode if it’s a sulphate or nitrate?
Oxygen is produced
What happens at the anode if its a hydroxide?
Oxygen produced from OH-
What is formed at the cathode if it is a group 1/2 metal or aluminium?
Hydrogen gas produced from water
What is produced at cathode if it’s a metal not in group 1 or 2 or aluminium?
Metal produced
What is produced at the cathode if it’s an acid?
Hydrogen from H+ ions
Define oxidation
Loss of electrons
Define reduction
Gain of electrons
What are the two steps of a iodine-thiosulfate titration?
Use an oxidising agent to oxidise as much iodine as possible
- excess acidic potassium iodide
Titration iodine with sodium thiosulfste to calculate moles of iodine produced
then calculate concentration of oxidising agent from this
What is the appearance of fluorine at room temp?
Pale yellow gas
What is the appearance of chlorine at room temp?
yellow-Green gas
What is the appearance of bromine at room temp?
Dark red volatile liquid
What is the appearance of iodine at room temp?
Shiny black solid
What is the trend in volatility of halogens? why?
Decrease down group
the strength of the IDID intermolecular bonds inceeases down group due to more electrons
