GROUP 7 Flashcards
What is the trend in the boiling point down group 7? why? (4)
Increases down the group
size of atoms increases
increase in number of electron so
stronger van der waals forces of attraction between molecules require more energy to overcome
What is the trend in electronegativity down group 7? Why? (5)
Decreases
increased atomic radius
more shielding
outer e- further away from nucleus
more difficult yo attract electron density in a covalent bond
state and explain trend in oxidising ability in group 7
going down G7 halogens become weaker oxidising agents.
Larger radius
Weaker attraction between nucleus and outer e-
Describe what you would see if you combined the following reagents and write stoichiometric and ionic equations for any reactions that take place
- Br2 (aq) with NaF (aq)
- Cl2 (aq) with NaBr (aq)
- Br2 (aq) with NaI (aq)
- No reaction occurs, Bromine can’t displace fluoride
- An orange- brown solution forms
Cl2(aq) + 2NaBr(aq) –> 2NaCl(aq) + Br2(aq)
Cl2(aq) + 2Br-(aq) –> 2Cl-(aq) + Br2(aq)
- Orange solution turns brown
Br2(aq) + 2NaI(aq) –> 2NaBr(aq) + I2(aq)
Br2(aq) + 2I-(aq) –> 2Br-(aq) +I2(aq)
State and explain the trend in reducing ability of the halide ions
Reducing strength increases down group
ions radius increases
Weaker attraction between outer e- and nucleus
Identify 2 solid sodium halides that can’t reduce concentrated sulphuric acid. write simplest ionic equations for a reaction occurring with just on for a reaction occurring with just one of theses halides and give oberservations
H+ + F- –> HF
Ob: misty fumes of HF gas
H+ + Cl- –> HCl
Ob: misty fumes of HCl gas
state the observation you would make if either of NaCl or NaF was reacted with concentrated sulphuric acids
steamy white fumes
Name the products formed when solid NaBr reacts with concentrated H2SO4 and state the observations you would make upon their function
Steamy fumes of HBr
brown fumes of Br2
colourless fum of SO2 gas
colourless solution of NAHSO4
Write redox equations for the formation of Br with H2SO4
2Br –> Br2 + 2e-
H2O4 + SH+ + 2e- –> SO2 + 2H2O
H2SO4 + 2H+ + 2Br- —> SO2 + 2H2O + Br2
Give a common use of Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO)
used as disinfectant as it kills bacteria
Write and equation for the reaction between Chlorine and cold dilute sodium hydroxide
Cl2(g) + 2NaOh(aq) —-> NaCl(aq) + NaClO(aq) + H2O(l)
Even though chlorine is toxic , why do we add it to swimming pools? (2)
adding chlorine to swimming pools kills bacteria.
health benefits of adding very small amount if Cl to water outweigh the risks
write equation for the reaction between H2O and Cl in the presence of direct sunlight
2Cl2(g)+ 2H2O (l) (EQUALIBRIUM SIGN) 4HCl (aq) + O2(g)
What does disproportination reaction mean?
reaction in which one reactant species is simultaneously oxidised and reduced
write the equation for the reaction between water and chlorine to form 2 chlorine- containing products
Cl2(g) + H2O(l) (EQUILIBRIUM ARROW) HCL(aq) + HCLO(aq)
