group 2 and 7 Flashcards
what is a reducing agent ?
electron donor
what is the trend in reducing strength of halides ?
increases down the group because ionic radius increases therefore weaker attraction between outer electron and nucleus
which halides undergo redox reactions with h2so4 ?
bromine
iodine
br- is strong enough to reduce h2so4 into …
so2
I- is strong enough to reduce h2so4 into
so2
s
h2s
what is are the observations of the following
so2
s
h2s
acidic gas
yellow solid
bad egg smell
what is the observation of I2 in redox reaction
black solid
What is the observation of Br2 in redox reaction
brown fumes
Balance the half equation
h2so4 -> so2
2e- + 2h+ + h2s04-> so2 +2h20
balance the half equation
h2so4 -> s
6e- + 6h+ + h2so4 -> s + 4h20
balance the half equation
h2so4 -> h2s
6e- + 6h+ h2so4 -> h2s + 4h2o
which halides undergo acid base reactions ?
F
Cl
Br
I
Give The general formula for a acid base reaction with a halide.
h2so4 + NaX -> Nahso4 + hX
what are the observations for HF and HCl
misty fumes
why is nitric acid added before the test for halide tests
to remove carbonate impurities which would give false positive
What is the observation for each halide test ?
F no precipitate
Cl white precipitate
Br cream precipitate
I yellow precipitate
what is a precipitate ?
when 2 solutions react to form a solid
