Q

what happens to the first ionisation energy as you go down group 2? why?

A

decreases
number of filled electron shells increases down the group –> increased shielding
increased atomic radius –> weaker force between outer electrons
electron and nucleus –> less energy needed to remove electron

Q

what is the trend of thermal stability in g 1 carbonates?

A

g 1 carbonates do not decompose except for lithium - they don’t have a big enough charge density to polarise the carbonate ion (only form 1+ ions) - Li ion is small enough to have a polarising effect so therefore lithium carbonate can decompose

Q

what is the trend of thermal stability in g 2 carbonates?

A

increases down the group because the cations get bigger so have less polarising effect distorting the carbonate ion less - C-O bond is not weakened as much - harder to break down

Q

what is the trend of thermal stability in g 2 nitrates?

36
Q

how do you carry out a flame test?

A

1 use a nichrome wire
2 sterilise by dipping in conc HCl and heating in bunsen flame
3 dip wire in (powdered) solid and put in flame
4 observe colour

37
Q

how are the colours from the flame test formed?

A

the heat causes the electron to get excited and thus move to a higher energy level but at this higher level the electron is unstable so moves back down
as it moves from a higher to lower energy level energy is emitted in the form of visible light energy which is the colour you see

38
Q

which group are referred to as halogens?

A

group 7

39
Q

properties of the halogens?

A

low melting and boiling points, exist as diatomic molecules

40
Q

trend in boiling point down group 7?

A

increases
size of atom increases as more electron shells –> stronger London forces between molecules requiring more energy to break

41
Q

trend in reactivity down group 7?

A

decreases
atomic radius increases, electron shielding increases, ability to gain an electron and form 1- ions decreases

42
Q

trend in electronegativity down g 7?

A

decreases
atomic radii increases so there is reduced nuclear attraction between outermost electron and the nucleus

43
Q

trend in oxidising ability down g 7?

A

decreases (Cl strongest, I weakest)
Cl has fewest occupied electron shells, greatest force of attraction between outer electrons and nucleus and thus is the easiest to gain electrons and be reduced –> best oxidising agent

44
Q

trend in reducing ability of group 7?

A

increases (Cl- weakest, I- strongest)
I- has greatest atomic radius, weakest force of attraction between outer electrons and positive charge of nucleus and thus is the easiest to be oxidised and lose electrons –> best reducing agent

Q

how do you test for halide ions? results?

A

acidified AgNO3
Cl- = white ppt
Br- = cream ppt
I- = yellow ppt

61
Q

when testing for halide ions why do you add HNO3 not HCl?

A

to remove CO3 2-
adding HCl would add Cl- ions, giving a false positive result

62
Q

what happens to each of the silver halide precipitates when dilute/conc NH3 is added?

A

AgCl- dissolves in both dilute and conc
AgBr- dissolves in conc
AgI- does not dissolve

63
Q

trend in oxidising ability down g 7?

A

decreases down group (Cl best, I worst)
Cl has fewest occupied electron shells therefore greatest attraction between outer electrons and nucleus, easiest to gain electrons and be reduced

64
Q

trend in reducing ability down group 7?

A

increases down group (Cl- worst, I- best)
I- has most occupied electron shells so outer electrons are further from the nucleus, weakest force of attraction between outer electrons and positive charge of nucleus –> easiest to be oxidised and lose electrons

65
Q

what products are formed when I- reduces H2SO4?

A

H2SO4 + 2I- –> SO4 2- + 2HI
H2SO4 + 2H+ + 2I- –> SO2 + I2 + 2H2O (SO2 is a choking gas with a pungent odour)
H2SO4 + 6H+ + 6I- –> S + 3I2 + 4H2O (S is a yellow solid)
H2SO4 + 8H+ + 8I- –> H2S + 4I2 + 4H2O (H2S smells of rotten eggs)

66
Q

products of Br- and H2SO4?

A

HBr and SO2

67
Q

does Cl- reduce H2SO4?

A

no - only HCl is formed

68
Q

how can you test for carbonate ions (CO3 2-)?

A

add strong acid
collect the gas produced
pass through lime water

limewater turns cloudy and effervescence is positive

CO3 2-(aq) + 2H+ (aq) –> H2O(aq) + CO2(g)

69
Q

how can you test for sulfate ions (SO4 2-)?

A

add dilute HCl and barium chloride/nitrate

white ppt of barium sulfate is produced

Ba 2+(aq) + SO4 2-(aq) –> BaSO4(s)

70
Q

what do you use to test for halide ions?

A

acidified AgNO3

71
Q

when testing for carbonate, sulfate and halide ions, in which order should the tests be carried out and why?

A

1 carbonate
2 sulfate
3 halide
