41
What happens to reducing agents?
They are oxidised and donate electrons
42
What happens to oxidising agents?
They are reduced and accept electrons
43
What are iodine-sodium thiosulphate titrations used for?
Finding the concentration of an oxidising agent
44
How do you clean the burette for titration?
rinse it out with the solution going in it (eg. sodium thiosulphate) - using water will leave traces which will dilute the solution
45
What is the equation for concentration?
conc = moles/vol(dm^3)
46
What do you add so you can see the end point easier in iodine-sodium thiosulphate titrations? When?
Starch solution - when the solution turns pale yellow
47
What is the end point for an iodine - sodium thiosulphate titration?
Blue --> clear | clear when the iodine has reacted
48
What is the end point?
the point where the alkali is exactly neutralised and the indicator changes colour
49
What are halogens?
Group 7 elements
50
What does fluorine look like at room temp?
pale yellow gas
51
What does chlorine look like at room temp?
yellow-green gas
52
What does bromine look like at room temp?
red-brown liquid
53
What does iodine look like at room temp?
Shiny grey solid
54
What is volatility?
Measure of how easy it is to vaporise something?
55
What is the volatility trend of halogens? why?
Less volatile down the group | because the increase in size and relative atomic mass so stronger id-id bonds
56
Why do halogens have higher solubility in hexane?
It is an organic solvent | Halogens are covalent and non polar
57
What colour is chlorine in water?
virtually colourless
58
What colour is chlorine in hexane?
virtually colourless
59
What colour is bromine in water?
orange
60
What colour is bromine in hexane?
red
61
What colour is iodine in water?
Brown
62
What colour is iodine in hexane?
violet
63
What is the reactivity trend of halogens?
Less reactive down the group
64
Are halogens reducing or oxidising agents?
oxidising agents - gain an electron
65
Why are halogens less reactive down a group?
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
What can halogens do to less reactive halide ions in solution?
Displace it
67
What is reduced and what is oxidised in a displacement reaction between halogens and halides?
the displaced halid is oxidised | the displacing halogen is reduced
68
What can you see with a halogen-halide displacement reaction?
colour change
69
How can you make a hydrogen halide?
Add a conc acid to a solid ionic halide | eg. conc phosphoric acid to sodium chloride
70
What hydrogen halides can't you make with conc sulfuric acid? why?
hydrogen bromide/iodide | iodine and bromine can reduce sulfuric acid and become bromine or iodine gas
71
What is the trend in bond energy for hydrogen halides?
Decreases down the group | so HF would be more stable than HI when heated
72
Why does bond energy decrease down the group for hydrogen halides?
Bigger atoms so bonding electrons are further away and shielded from the nucleus
73
Why are hydrogen halides acids in water?
It dissociates into the halogen ion and proton
74
Why do you get an ammonium halide from hydrogen halide and ammonia?
Ammonia is a base It accepts proton to form an ammonium ion which bonds with halide ion
75
What equation shows sodium chloride reacting with sulfuric acid?
NaCl + H2SO4 --> HCl + NAHSO4
76
Which hydrogen halide is most thermally stable? why?
HF Smallest so strongest attraction to bonding electrons
77
What acid work for all hydrogen halides when trying to make hydrogen halides from ionic halides?
Phosphoric acid
78
What is a test for halides?
Use silver nitrate solution - a precipitate of silver halide is formed
79
What precipitate is formed when fluoride reacts with silver nitrate?
no precipitate
80
What precipitate is formed when chloride reacts with silver nitrate?
white precipitate
81
What precipitate is formed when bromide reacts with silver nitrate?
cream precipitate

dissolves to colourless in dilute ammonia solution
85
How does AgBr react with ammonia solution?
dissolves to colourless in conc ammonia solution
86
How does AgI react with ammonia solution?
Does not dissolve so stays the same
87
Why is chlorine dangerous?
- toxic - corrosive - flammable
88
What is the equation for percentage atom economy?
(molecular mass of desired product) / (sum of molecular mass of all products)
89
Is better to have a high or low atom economy? why?
High atom economy | they produce less waste so they're cheaper and more environmentally friendly
90
What is dynamic equilibrium?
The forward reaction and backward reaction reaction are the same rate
91
What system does dynamic equilibrium need to be in?
A closed system
92
Will there be more reactants or products when equilibrium is to the left?
more reactants
93
Will there be more reactants or products when equilibrium is to the right?
more products
94
What is Kc?
The equilibrium constant
95
What is the Kc equation?
[PRODUCTS]/[REACTANTS] A+ B --> C + 2D [C] [D]^2 / [A] [B]
96
What does it mean if Kc is more than 1?
equilibrium lies to the right
97
What does it mean if Kc is less than 1?
Equilibrium lies to the left
98
What does it mean if Kc is 1?
Equilibrium is in the middle (amount of reactants and products are equal)
99
How does Kc stay constant?
the position of equilibrium shifts to keep it constant
100
What does increasing pressure do to equilibrium?
Equilibrium shifts to side with fewer gas molecules
101
What does decreasing pressure do to equilibrium?
Equilibrium shifts to side with more gas molecules
102
What does increasing temperature do to equilibrium?
Equilibrium shifts to endothermic side
103
What does decreasing temperature do to equilibrium?
