halogens Flashcards
colour of F
poisonous pale yellow gas
colour of Cl gas and soln
posionour dense yellow gas. dissolves to form a pale yellow soln
colour of Br liquid, soln and in oranci solvent
caustic and toxic vllatile red brown liquid. yellow solution whne aq and in an organic solvent (br2 dissolves slowly in wtaer
colour of I2 crystlas and of sublimation vapour. aq solution and organic solvent
shiny black solid
sublimes to form a voilet vapour
brown aq soln
purple soln in org solvent
test for Cl
damp blue litmus becomes red then white due to HOCl
test for Br2
damp blue litmus to red then white (bleached slowly)
-bromine water is decolourised with alkenes and with phenol and phenylamine to from white ppt
test for I2
dissolved minimally inwater, use damp blue litmus,turns red but not bleached since HOI is very weak bleaching characteristics
blue black with starch
mp and bp down group 7
both increase due to an inrease in strength of Van der Waals forces. these get stronger due to an increase in no of e-
IE down group 7
decreases since the e- that need sto be lost if further away
electroneg down grp 7
decreases steaily down the group. the samller the atom the closer the nucleus is to the shared electrons and there is little shielding so the e are easily attracted. small atoms allow for shorter bonds
electron affinity down grp 7
decreases from Cl to I. as the atom gets larger it is more difficult to gain an electrons to the larger shielding effect and greater distance from the nulcues even though the nuclear charge is higher.
the low EA of F2 (found between Br and I);;is ude to its small size. the e is attracted by the nucleus but repelled by the outer 7 e- that apply repulsion.
bond enthalpies down grp 7
decrese from Cl to I since the strength of the X-X bond decreases. due to an increase in size which makes the bond longer;; less attraction between nuclei and shred e-
F-F bond is very short due to small size. results in repulsion between lone pairs, thus weakening the bond
full lap prep of Cl2 gas
- conc H2SO4 is added slowly to mixture of NaCl and MnO2
-heated
MnO2 becomes reeduced to Mn2+ and Cl- is oxidised to Cl2
-Cl2 leaving flask is contaminated with HCl
mixture is bubbles through water in Woulff bottle. HCl dissolves
Cl is dried by passing over conc H2SO4
collected via gas syringe or downward delivery
-se fume upboard
simple methods o fmaking Cl2
heat HCl with MnO2 to make MnCl2 + H2O +Cl2
lab prep of Br2
conc H2SO4 poured slowly into mixture of KBr and MNO2
- heated
- MnO2 is reduced to Mn2+ and Br- to Br2
- Br poassed through condenser to condense the vapour
- collected as a re fuming liquid
lab prep of I2
mixture of KI, H2SO4 abd MnO2 is heated
- I2 vapour is produces
- vapour sublimes into purple black crystals on the cold finger
- the cold finger is removed and crystals are scraped off
what 3 types of energy does the ease with which halogens form ionichalides depend on?
-standard bond dissociation enthalpy
first EA
standard lattice enthalpy of X-
what are ions containing one or more halogen molecules attached ot a halide ion called?
polyhalides
