Q

Describe the oxidising ability of the halogens.

A

Oxidising ability decreases as atomic number increases.
Oxidising agents cause another species to lose electrons it itself gaining electrons and becoming reduced.
Oxidising agents readily accept electrons
The ease at which an oxidising agent gains electrons is a measure of how effective an oxidising agent it is.
The halogens gain electrons in their outer layer in order to complete their energy level.
The outer electrons are closer to the nucleus in fluorine
The electron fluorine gains is more attracted to the nucleus because it is closer then chlorine.
There is more shielding down the group therefore attraction to the nucleus is not as strong

Q

Whats the colour change when Chlorine reacts with Iodide ions?

A

Colourless to Yellow

19
Q

What is the colour change when Bromine reacts with Iodide ions?

A

Solution darkens from orange to brown

20
Q

Describe the reducing ability of the Halogens

A

Reducing ability increases as Atomic number increases
Reducing agents cause another species to gain electrons, itself becoming oxidised
Reducing agents readily donate electrons
The ease with which a reducing agent loses its electrons determines how effective it is as a reducing agent
The electron lost by an iodide ion comes from an energy level with more shielding and further from the nucleus, therefore, it is more easily lost
Fluorine and Chlorine have little reducing ability

41
Q

What is the equation for the production of ozone?

A

3O2 → 2O3

42
Q

How do chlorine and ozone kill microorganisms?

A

The oxidise them

43
Q

Compare and contrast ozone to Chlorine as a method of treating drinking water.

A

Advantages Chlorine:

1) Cheaper than Ozone
2) Remains in the water → residual protection
3) More soluble than ozone

Disadvantages Chlorine:

1) Cannot kill some microorganisms
2) Leaves chemicals in the water
3) Unpleasant taste
4) Toxic to humans

Advantages Ozone:

1) Kills more types of microorganism than chlorine
2) Breakdown product is oxygen
3) No residual chemicals in the water
4) Removals metal and organic particles from the water

Disadvantages Ozone:

1) More expensive than chlorine
2) Does not provide residual protection
3) Less soluble so special mixing techniques needed
