Q

State and explain the trend in boiling point down group 7 (5)

Increases
Simple molecular structure
Molecule gets bigger down group 7 so increased number of electrons so stronger van der Waals between molecules
Takes more energy to overcome

Q

State and explain the trend in oxidising ability from F2 to I2 (4)

A

Going down the group the halogens become weaker oxidising agents
Oxidising agents are themselves reduced and, therefore, gain electrons.
Going down the group the halogens increase in size and atoms have more shielding, which makes the attraction to incoming electrons weaker
Accept electrons more easily

Q

State and explain the trend in reducing ability of the halide ions (4)

A

Going down the group, halides become stronger reducing agents
This is because the ions become larger and lose their electrons more easily as the outer electrons are more shielded and further from the nucleus

21
Q

Why is dilute nitric acid added before the silver nitrate?
Why not HCl?

A

To remove any carbonate and hydroxide ions which may be present in the sample which could form Ag2CO3. This is a white precipitate which would give a false positive
HCl would add Cl - ions giving a false positive

22
Q

Describe the test for halide ions

A

Add nitric acid then silver nitrate
Add dilute ammonia to the mixture
Add concentrated ammonia to the mixture

23
Q

White precipitate forms
AgCl

25

34
Q

What is disproportionation?

A

Same species is both oxidised and reduced

35

37
Q

Equation for reaction of chlorine with cold, dilute, aqueous NaOH

A

Cl2(g) + 2NaOH(aq) —> NaClO(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

38
Q

What type of reaction occurs between sodium halide and sulfuric acid?

A

Acid-base reaction

39
Q

Outline a test for ammonium ions.

A

Add sodium hydroxide solution to the sample and warm it
If the resultant gas turns damp red litmus paper blue it indicates ammonium ions were present in the initial sample

40
Q

Outline a test for hydroxide ions

A

Universal indicator will turn dark blue or purple in the presence of hydroxide ions.

41
Q

Outline a test for carbonate ions.

A

Add a dilute acid to the sample
Bubble the resultant gas through limewater
If it turns cloudy it indicates that carbonate ions were present in the initial sample

42
Q

Even though chlorine is toxic, why do we add it to swimming pools?

A

Adding chlorine to swimming pools kills bacteria
The health benefits of adding very small amounts of chlorine to water outweigh the risks.

43
Q

Give a common use of sodium hypochlorite.

A

Sodium hypochlorite is often used as a disinfectant as it kills bacteria.
