group 7 Flashcards
What are the observations when NaF/ NaCl react with concentrated sulfuric acid
white steamy fumes
What is the role of H2SO4 when NaF/NaCl react with H2SO4
Acid (proton donor)
What are the observations when NaBr reacts with H2SO4
White steamy fumes when HBr evolve
Orange fumes of bromine
Colourless acidic gas
What are the observations when NaI reacts with H2SO4
White steamy fumes when HI evolve Black solid + purple fumes when Iodine evolves colourless acidic gas SO2 Yellow solid of sulfur H2S gas with bad egg smell
What forms when silver nitrate reacts with Br-
AgBr
Ag2CO3
What forms when excess nitric acid is added to AgBr and Ag2CO3, write the reactions
Br-
CO2
AgBr + 2NH3 –> [Ag(NH3)2]+ + Br-
AgCl precipitate
white
AgBr precipitate
cream
AgI precipitate
pale yellow
Silver chloride + dilute ammonia
Dissolves
AgCl + 2NH3 –> [Ag(NH3)s]+ + Cl-
Colourless solution
Silver bromide + concentrated ammonia
Dissolves
AgBr + 2NH3 –> [Ag(NH3)2]+ + Br-
Colourless solution
Silver iodide + ammonia
No reaction - too insoluble
What does nitric acid do in group 7 reactions
React with carbonates to get rid of/ prevent formation of Ag2CO3
Calcium hydroxide ppt colour
white
Strontium hydroxide
does not form hydroxide precipitate due to high solubility
solution highly alkaline
