Q

trend in melting point and boiling point

A

Increase down the group, molecules become larger and have more electrons and so have larger van der waal forces.

Q

trends in electronegativity

A

decreases- the atomic radius increases due to the increasing number of shells. Nucleus less able to attract

A

yellow precipitate

20
Q

why is ammonia used ?

A

to differentiate between the halides if the colours look similiar

21
Q

does silver chloride dissolves in dilute ammonia

A

yes

22
Q

does silver bromide dissolve in dilute ammonia

A

no, but yes in concentrated ammonia

23
Q

Does silver iodide dissolve in ammonia

A

no, not even in concentrated ammonia

24
Q

Reaction of halide salts with concentrated sulphuric acid: fluoride and chloride

A

Not strong enough reducing agents to reduce the S in H2SO4- ONLY ACID BASE reactions occurNaF + H2SO4 –> NaHSO4 + HbrWHITE STEAMY FUMES OF HCL ARE INVOLVED

25
Q

Reaction of halide salts with concentrated sulphuric acid: With Bromide

A

two steps: acid base step (initially reduces sulfur) and redox step Acid base step: NaBr + H2SO4 –> NaHSO4 + HFRedox step: 2HBr +H2SO4 –> Br2 + SO2 + 2H2O.White steamy fumes of HBr are evolved. Red fumes of Bromine are also involved and a colourless, acidic gas SO2H2SO4 acts as acid in first step to produce HBr and is an oxidising agent

26
Q

Reaction of halide salts with concentrated sulphuric acid : With Iodide

A

Strongest reducing agent- reduce sulfure from +6 to +4 in SO2 and from 0 to -2 in H2SWhite steamy fumes of HI involved. Black solid and purple fumes of idone are also involved. Colourless, acidic gas SO2, yellow solid of sulfur, H2S a gas with a bad egg smell

27
Q

Reaction of halide salts with concentrated sulphuric acid: 4 steps of Iodide

A

NAI + H2SO4 –> NaHSO4 + HI2HI + H2SO4 –> I2 + SO2 +2H2O2HI + H2SO4 –> 3I2 + S + 4H2O8HI + H2SO4 –> 4I2 + H2S + 4H20

28
Q

DISPROPORTIONATION

A

The name for a reaction where an element simultaneously oxidises and reduces

29
Q

Chlorine with cold water

A

Cl2 + H2O –> HOCL +HCL- Chlorine is simultaneously reducing and oxidising

30
Q

Chlorine with water in sunlight

A

2Cl2 + 2H2O –> 4H+ + 4CL + O2

31
Q

Reactio of chlorine with cold dilute NaOH

A

Cl2 + 2NaCl –> NaCl +NaOCl + H2O

32
Q

Uses of chlorine

A

kills bacteria in pools and used as bleach

33
Q

why can we use chlorine in pools

A

Used in sufficiently small amounts and the benefits to health of water treatment outweigh its toxic effect

34
Q

Halogens are used to make halogenated organic compounds.The refrigerant used in air conditioners is a mixture of fluorinated alkanes.These compounds are made by fluorination reactions.The mechanism for the reaction of fluorine with an alkane or with a fluoroalkane is a free-radical substitution similar to the reaction of chlorine with methane.Write the overall equation for the reaction of fluorine with methane to form trifluoromethane (CHF3).

A

CH4 + 3F2—————> CHF3 + 3HF
