54
Q

What is volatility?

A

Measure of how easy it is to vaporise something?

55
Q

What is the volatility trend of halogens? why?

A

Less volatile down the group

because the increase in size and relative atomic mass so stronger id-id bonds

56
Q

Why do halogens have higher solubility in hexane?

A

It is an organic solvent

Halogens are covalent and non polar

57
Q

What colour is chlorine in water?

A

virtually colourless

58
Q

What colour is chlorine in hexane?

A

red

61
Q

What colour is iodine in water?

A

Brown

62
Q

What colour is iodine in hexane?

A

violet

63
Q

What is the reactivity trend of halogens?

A

Less reactive down the group

64
Q

Are halogens reducing or oxidising agents?

A

oxidising agents - gain an electron

65
Q

Why are halogens less reactive down a group?

A

larger atoms have more electron shells so outer electrons are further from nucleus
outer electrons more shielded from positive nucleus
so weak attraction to electron needed to form an ion

66
Q

What can halogens do to less reactive halide ions in solution?

A

Displace it

67
Q

What is reduced and what is oxidised in a displacement reaction between halogens and halides?

A

the displaced halid is oxidised

the displacing halogen is reduced

68
Q

What can you see with a halogen-halide displacement reaction?

A

colour change

69
Q

How can you make a hydrogen halide?

A

Add a conc acid to a solid ionic halide

eg. conc phosphoric acid to sodium chloride

70
Q

What hydrogen halides can’t you make with conc sulfuric acid? why?

A

hydrogen bromide/iodide

iodine and bromine can reduce sulfuric acid and become bromine or iodine gas

71
Q

What is the trend in bond energy for hydrogen halides?

A

Decreases down the group

so HF would be more stable than HI when heated

72
Q

Why does bond energy decrease down the group for hydrogen halides?

A

Bigger atoms so bonding electrons are
further away and
shielded from the nucleus

73
Q

Why are hydrogen halides acids in water?

A

It dissociates into the halogen ion and proton

74
Q

Why do you get an ammonium halide from hydrogen halide and ammonia?

A

Ammonia is a base
It accepts proton to form an ammonium ion
which bonds with halide ion

75
Q

What equation shows sodium chloride reacting with sulfuric acid?

A

NaCl + H2SO4 –> HCl + NAHSO4

76
Q

Which hydrogen halide is most thermally stable? why?

A

HF
Smallest so
strongest attraction to bonding electrons

77
Q

What acid work for all hydrogen halides when trying to make hydrogen halides from ionic halides?

A

Phosphoric acid

78
Q

What is a test for halides?

A

Use silver nitrate solution - a precipitate of silver halide is formed

79
Q

What precipitate is formed when fluoride reacts with silver nitrate?

A

no precipitate

80
Q

What precipitate is formed when chloride reacts with silver nitrate?

A

white precipitate

81

dissolves to colourless in dilute ammonia solution

85
Q

How does AgBr react with ammonia solution?

A

dissolves to colourless in conc ammonia solution

86
Q

How does AgI react with ammonia solution?

Does not dissolve so stays the same

87
Q

Why is chlorine dangerous?

A
  • toxic
  • corrosive
  • flammable
88
Q

What is the equation for percentage atom economy?

A

(molecular mass of desired product) / (sum of molecular mass of all products)

89
Q

Is better to have a high or low atom economy? why?

A

High atom economy

they produce less waste so they’re cheaper and more environmentally friendly

90
Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

The forward reaction and backward reaction reaction are the same rate

91
Q

What system does dynamic equilibrium need to be in?

A

A closed system

92
Q

Will there be more reactants or products when equilibrium is to the left?

A

more reactants

93
Q

Will there be more reactants or products when equilibrium is to the right?

A

more products

94
Q

What is Kc?

A

The equilibrium constant

95
Q

What is the Kc equation?

A

[PRODUCTS]/[REACTANTS]
A+ B –> C + 2D
[C] [D]^2 / [A] [B]

equilibrium lies to the right

97
Q

What does it mean if Kc is less than 1?

A

Equilibrium lies to the left

98
Q

What does it mean if Kc is 1?

A

Equilibrium is in the middle (amount of reactants and products are equal)

99
Q

How does Kc stay constant?

A

the position of equilibrium shifts to keep it constant

100
Q

What does increasing pressure do to equilibrium?

A

Equilibrium shifts to side with fewer gas molecules

101
Q

What does decreasing pressure do to equilibrium?

A

Equilibrium shifts to side with more gas molecules

102
Q
