Q

What is the trend in electronegativity going down group 7, why?

A

Decreases, bigger the atoms the more the nucleus is shielded by extra inner e-s meaning effect of nuclear charge is reduced and so is the nucleus’ ability to attract the pair of e-s.

Q

How do halogens usually react, what does this make them . What sort of reaction is this and why?

A

React by stealing e-s to become negative ions. This is a redox reaction as halogens are oxidising agents and are themselves reduced.

Q

Which halogen is the strongest oxidiser?

A

Fluorine.

Q

When a halide ion reduces another substance, what happens and what is the general equation?

A

Q

What is the trend in reducing power down group 7 halides, why?

A

Increases, larger the ion the easier it is to lose e-s.

30
Q

How do we test the reducing power of the halides?

A

Solid Na halides react with concentrated sulphuric acid. he products are different and reflect their reducing power.

31
Q

Drops of sulfuric acid are added to sodium CHLORIDE, what is the product? What type of reaction is this and what is the equation?

A

32
Q

Is the reaction with sodium chloride a redox, why or why not?

A

No, no oxidation state has changed.

33
Q

Drops of sulfuric acid are added to sodium BROMIDE, what are the products? What type of reactions are these and what are the equations?

A

Steamy fumes of HBr, brown fumes of Br2, colourless SO2. Acid-base of HBr (same equation as general). Oxidation of Br-, 2Br- + H2SO4 + 2H+ -> Br2 + SO2 + 2H2O. Sulphuric acid reduction for SO2, 2H+ + 2Br- + H2SO4(l) -> SO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + Br2(l).

34
Q

Drops of sulfuric acid are added to sodium IODIDE, what are the products? What type of reactions are these and what are the equations?

A

Steamy fumes of sodium iodide, black solid of iodine, bad egg smell of hydrogen sulphide, yellow solid sulphur. Hydrogen iodide is an acid-base reaction. SO2, S and hydrogen sulphide are reduced by iodide ions, 8H+ + 8I- + H2SO4(l) -> H2S(g) + 4H2O(l) + 4I2(s).

35
Q

How else can we identify the halides?

A

Using their reactions with silver ions.

36
Q

What are the steps to identifying a halide with silver ions?

A

Dilute nitric acid is added to the halide to remove any soluble carbonate or hydroxide impurities. A few drops of silver nitrate is added and a precipitate forms.

37
Q

How would carbonate or hydroxide impurities interfere with the test for identifying halides using silver ions.

A

By forming insoluble silver carbonate or insoluble silver hydroxide.

38
Q

For silver fluoride what precipitate do we see?

A

None.

39
Q

For silver chloride what precipitate can we see? What happens dilute ammonia is added?

A

White precipitate, dissolves.

40
Q

For silver bromide what precipitate do we see? How does it interact with dilute and conc. ammonia?

A

Cream precipitate, dissolves in conc. ammonia.

41
Q

For silver iodide what precipitate do we see? What happens when dilute or conc. ammonia is added?

A

Pale yellow precipitate, doesn’t dissolve in either ammonias.

42
Q

Why doesn’t fluorine form a precipitate?

A

It’s soluble in water.

Explain each step in the procedure and illustrate your explanations with equations, where appropriate.

A

Add silver nitrate to form ppts of AgCl and AgBr, AgNO3 + NaCl -> AgCl + NaNO3, AgNO3 + NaBr -> AgBr + NaNO3. Add excess of dilute ammonia to the mixture of ppts. The AgCl dissolves, AgCl + 2NH3 -> [Ag(NH3)2]+ + Cl-, filter off remaining AgBr ppt, wash to remove soluble compounds, dry to remove water.

53
Q

Write an ionic equation for the reaction between chlorine and cold dilute sodium hydroxide solution.

54
Q

Chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution containing bromide ions. What would you observe?

A

Turns to orange solution.

55
Q

Explain why chlorine has a lower boiling point than bromine.

A

Br is bigger than Cl, has more e-s. Cl2 has weaker VDW forces between molecules making it easier and requiring less energy to break/ boil.
