Electrolysis of (conc)Brine
Why is making Cl2 on-site preferred to transporting it?
What are the products of this electrolysis?
Why is a membrane cell needed during this electrolysis?
A toxic gas so it cannot be contained and bad when inhaled as it is an irritant. Can form chlorinated hydrocarbons which are cancerous.
Cl2 , H2, NaOH all useful
To prevent products from reacting.
Electrolysis of Copper
Products at Cathode:
Products at Anode:
Observation to CuSO4 solution
- Cu
- Cu2+
Equation for reduction of H2O at Cathode:
Equation for the oxidation of water at Anode:
Appearance and state of Fluorine at rtp Appearance and state of Chlorine at rtp Appearance and state of Bromine at rtp Appearance and state of Iodine at rtp
Pale yellow gas Green gas Reddish-brown liquid Shiny grey/black solid (May sublimate to purple vapour)
What is oxidation(3)
-loss of electrons -loss of hydrogen -gain of oxygen
Displacement rxns:
What happens during a halogen displacement rxn?
Name given when a species is oxidised and reduced at the same time
- A more reactive halogen displaces a less reactive halide ion
- Disproportionation
When balancing half-equations, on which side do you add e-?
Most positive side
What 3 species can you add when balancing ionic equations?
- e- to balance charge
- H2O to balance oxygen
- H+ to balance hydrogen
What is the systematic name of the following compounds:
KMnO4
ClO-
ClO4-
KNO3
Potassium manganate(VII)
Chlorate(I)
Chlorate(VII)
Potassium nitrate(V)
What is the strongest oxidising halogen? Most reactive halogen?
Fluorine (F2) Fluorine(F2)
Oxidising power trend
-Oxidising power decreases down group -Increasing nuclear charge is overcomed by increasing shielding and increasing radius.
