halogens Flashcards
appearance and state F2 at room temp
yellow gas
very reactive
toxic
appearance and state of Cl2 room temp and pressure
green gas
very reactive
toxic
appearance and state Br2 room temp and pressure
orange liquid
very reactive
toxic
appearance and state I2 room temp and pressure
grey crystal
reactive
toxic
trend of atomic radii of halogens
increases down the group
trend of electronegativity of halogens
decreases down the group
reactivity trend of halogens
decreases down the group
colour of Cl dissolved in solution
pale green
colour of Br dissolved in solution
orange
colour of I dissolved in water
brown
colour of I dissolved in cyclohexane
purple
distinguishing between bromine and iodine solution (both brown/orange solution)
add cyclohexane and shake -> iodine purple layer
add starch -> iodine blue black
reactions of halogens with iron (II) solution
place 2cm3 of Fe2+ into a test tube
add aqueous (chlorine)
until a change is observed
observation adding Fe2+ to Cl
turns pale yellow
observation on adding Fe2+ to Br
solution turns pale yellow
does I2 react with Fe2+
no
overall equation Cl2 + 2Fe2+
(same for Br2)
Cl2 + 2Fe2+ —> 2Fe3+ + 2Cl-
reaction of halogens and halides
add Cl water dropwise to 1cm3 of KBr solution and mix
repeat with Cl water and KI
replace Cl water with Br water and repeat with all halides
result of Cl with KBr
colourless solution turns pale yellow
hexane turns red
