Group 7 Flashcards

1
Q

Describe and explain the Group 7 trend in boiling points

A

The boiling point increases as you go down the group due to:

  • increase in the size of the molecules
  • increase in the number of electrons
  • more chance of an instantaneous dipole
  • greater (bigger) van der Waals’ between the molecules

Q

Describe and explain the Group 7 trend in Electronegativity

A

decreases down the group due to :

Q

State the trend in the oxidising ability of the halogens and explain

Q

State the trend in the reducing power of the halides and explain

A

increases down the group :

  • an increase in the number of electron shells
  • an increase in the ionic radii
  • an increase in the amount of shielding
  • a decrease in the amount of attraction for the outer electron
  • an increase in the ease of electron loss

This makes it easier for the halides to lose its electrons and donate it

Q

Describe how to carry out the reaction of halide ions with silver nitrate and how to carry out the subsequent tests used to distinguish them further

A

make the test solution by adding nitric acid to the sample and then adding silver nitrate solution dropwise

Subsequent tests: add some dilute ammonia solution dropwise until it is excess. After add concentrated ammonia solution dropwise until it is excess

Q

Describe the results seen when halide ions react with dilute ammonia and concentrated ammonia

A

Florine= nothing

Chlorine = white precipitate dissolves, goes clear (soluble) in both

Bromide= insoluble in one, cream precipitate dissolves in concentrated ammonia (goes clear)

Idodine= insoluble in both

Q

In what reaction is the trend in the reducing power of halides shown and how?

A

the increasing trend in the reducing power can be seen in the reactions of solid sodium halides with concentrated sulfuric acid

the halogen with the most reducing power is able to reduce the oxidation state of sulphur the most

HCl produced

Acid-base reaction

2NaCl + H2SO4 →Na2SO4 + 2HCl

18
Q

What are the observations when sodium bromine reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid? State the type of reaction (s) that takes place, state the products and write the equation (s)

A

Misty white fumes = Acid -base = HBr produced

Colourles gas = redox = SO2 produced

A
20
Q

What are the observations when sodium Iodide reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid? State the type of reaction (s) that takes place, state the products and write the equation (s)

A

Misty white fumes = Acid -base = HI produced

Colourles gas = redox = SO2 produced

Yellow solid = redox = Sulfur produced

Bad egg smell= redox= H2S

Purple fumes = redox = I2 produced

21
Q

Write the half equations for the redox reaction that takes place between sodium iodide and concentrates sulfuric acid

A
22
Q

What does disproportionation mean?

A

when the oxidation state of some atoms of the same element increase and others decrease

23
Q

How is chlorine used to make bleach? Write down the equation with the oxidation states.

A

Chlorine reacts with cold, dilute sodium hydroxide to form sodium chlorate(I), which is an oxidising agent and an active ingredient in household bleach

24
Q

What is the equation for the reaction of chlorine with water? Write down the equation with the oxidation states of chlorine only.

A

cl2 = 0

HCLO = +1

HCL=-1

25
Q

What is the equation for the reaction of chlorine with water IN THE SUNLIGHT? Write down the equation with the oxidation states of chlorine only.

A
26
Q

What are the advantages and disadvantages of adding chlorine to drinking water?

A

pros:

  • kills disease-causing microorganisms
  • some chlorine persists in the water and prevents reinfection further down the supply
  • prevents the growth of algae, eliminating bad tastes ad smells
  • removes discolouration caused by organic compounds

cons:

  • Chlorine reacts with organic compounds to form chlorinated hydrocarbons, many are cancer-causing (small risk compared to diseases like cholera)
  • chlorine has is harmful when breathed in and liquid chlorine can cause chemical burns
27
Q

Explain why dilute hydrochloric acid is not used to acidify the silver nitrate solution in the test for halide ions

A

HCl would form a white precipitate (due to the chloride ion it contains)

28
Q

Give a reason why chlorine is not formed when solid potassium chloride reacts with concentrated sulphuric acid

A

sulphuric acid’s oxidising power is not strong enough

chlorine is a weak reducing agent
