Q

what is the trend in reducing strength of halides ?

A

increases down the group because ionic radius increases therefore weaker attraction between outer electron and nucleus

18
Q

how would you distinguish between Br Cl I

A

add dilute nh3 and cl precipitate will dissolve
add conc nh3 and Br precipitate will dissolve
I precipitate remains

19
Q

what is the general formula for the precipitates formed in halide tests ?

A

AgX

20
Q

what solution is added to test for halides

A

Silver nitrate (AgNO3)

21
Q

what is a oxidising agent ?

A

electron acceptor

22
Q

what is the trend in oxidising ability in halogens

A

decreases down the group because radius increases therefore weaker attraction between nucleus and incoming electrons

23
Q

what is the difference between a halide and a halogen ?

A

Halide is a group 7 ion
halogen is a group 7 atom (diatomic)

24
Q

what can displace I ?

A

Cl
Br

25
Q

what’s the ionic equation for the displacement of I by Cl

A

Cl2 + 2I- -> 2Cl- + I2

26
Q

what is the observation for Br2 in displacement reaction ?

A

orange solution

27
Q

what is the observation for I2 in displacement reaction ?

A

Black solid

28
Q

what are the uses for chlorine

A

to kill bacteria in water
production of bleach

29
Q

why is chlorine added to water in low concentrations ?

A

Its toxic

30
Q

what is the equation for prodution of bleach with cold dilute aqueous sodium hydroxide ?

A

Cl2 + 2NaOH -> NaCl + NaClO(Bleach) + H2O

31
Q

what is the trend in reactivity for group 2 ?

A

increases down the group

32
Q

What is the observation for the reaction of Mg with steam ?

A

White solid (MgO)
bright light

33
Q

what is used to extract Ti from TiCl4 ?

A

magnesium

A

Increases down the group

35
Q

What is the test for Mg2+ ions ?

A

add Sodium hydroxide to form a white precipitate

36
Q

what is the test for OH- ions ?

A

add magnesium nitrate to from white precipitate

Q

what are the uses of magnesium hydroxide ?

A

indigestion relief

what is the test for sulphate ions ?

A

Add Barium chloride which forms a white precipitate

41
Q

what is the test for carbonate ions ?

A

add any acid which forms a effervescence

42
Q

what are the uses for barium sulphate ?

A

Taking x rays of the stomach

43
