A

halogens

26
Q

By what name are the ions F-, Cl-, Br- and I- collectively known?

A

halides

27
Q

State and explain the trend in electronegativity of the Group 7 elements

A

decreases down group
more shells
bonding electrons more shielded from nucleus
atom less able to attract bonding electrons to itself

28
Q

State and explain the trend in boiling point of the Group 7 elements

A

increases down group
molecules have more electrons/larger surface area
so stronger Van der Waal’s forces
so more energy required to separate the molecules

29
Q

Explain why the halogens are all oxidizing agents and state and explain the trend in oxidizing ability of the halogens

A

they have only seven electrons in the outer shell so can act as electron acceptors and become halides

Oxidising ability decreases down group
more shielding
So the incoming electron is less strongly attracted to the nucleus

30
Q

Explain why the halides are all reducing agents and state and explain the trend in reducing ability of the halides

A

they can lose electrons to become halogens
reducing ability increases down group
more shells means more shielding
So electrons can be more easily lost from the outer shell

41
Q

Chloride ions cannot reduce concentrated sulphuric acid.
Bromide ions reduce concentrated sulphuric acid to sulphur dioxide.
Iodide ions reduce concentrated sulphuric acid to hydrogen sulphide.

Explain these observations in terms of the relative reducing ability of the halides

A

Cl- is the weakest reducing agent and I- is the strongest reducing agent
Reducing power increases down the group; more shells and more shielding mean that the attraction between the outermost electrons and the nucleus is weaker and the species is a better electron donor
Cl- cannot reduce H2SO4
Br- reduces S in H2SO4 from +6 to +4
I- reduces S in H2SO4 from +6 to -2:

42
Q

Write an equation to show the reaction between Iodide ions and concentrated sulphuric acid

A

H2SO4 + 2H+ + 2Br- –> SO2 + Br2 + 2H2O

43
Q

A

H2SO4 + 8H+ + 8I- –> H2S + 4I2 + 4H2O

44
Q

10) Chloride ions react with concentrated sulphuric acid to give hydrogen chloride gas. Write an equation for this reaction and show that it is not a redox reaction

A

H2SO4 + Cl- –> HSO4- + HCl

The oxidation number of S is +6 in both reactant and product

45
Q

Write an equation to show the reaction between chlorine and water to make chloric (I) acid

State what is oxidized and what is reduced in this reaction

State an application of this reaction

A

Cl2 + H2O == HCl(aq) + HClO(aq)

Cl is both oxidised (from 0 to +1) and reduced (from 0 to -1)

this is used to sterilise water; HClO is a sterilising agent

46
Q

State what happens when chlorine is added to water in the presence of bright
sunlight

State what is oxidized and what is reduced in this reaction

A

2Cl2 + 2H2O –> 4HCl + O2

Cl is reduced (from 0 to -1) and O is oxidized (from -2 to 0)

47
Q

Explain why chlorine is added to the water supply

A

Chlorine is added to the water supply to kill harmful bacteria (ie to sterilize the water)

48
Q

State one advantage and one disadvantage of adding chemicals to the water supply

A

Adding chemicals to the water supply can have health benefits by killing harmful toxins or providing important nutrients.

The chemicals added to the water supply can themselves be toxic to some people and they take away the right of the individual to choose whether to add chemicals to their water

49
Q

Write an equation to show the reaction between chlorine and sodium
hydroxide to make sodium chlorate (I)

State what is oxidized and what is reduced in this reaction

State an application of this reaction
