Q

In the process for the manufacture of bromine from Dead Sea water, bromine is separated from other materials involved in the process.

Which properties of bromine make it possible to separate from water?

A

Bromine is not very soluble in water and so a lower and higher density bromine layer is formed. This can be run off from water that floats on top

94
Q

Explain why pure hydrogen chloride can be prepared by the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid to sodium chloride but the same method cannot be used to prepare hydrogen bromide from sodium bromide. Include any equations which help your explanation

A

Sodium chloride reacts with concentrated acid to make pure hydrogen chloride gas
NaCl(s) + H2SO4(aq) –> NaHSO4(aq) + HCl(g)

Sodium bromide first of all reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to make hydrogen bromide
NaBr(s) + H2SO4(aq) –> NaHSO4(aq) + HBr(g)

However, the bromide ions produced are strong enough reducing agents to reduce the sulfuric acid which is present to sulphur dioxide
2H+(aq) + 2Br-(aq) + H2SO4(aq) –> SO2(g) + 2H2O(l) + Br2(l)

This means that adding concentrated sulfuric acid to sodium bromide would not be a good way to make hydrogen bromide gas because it won’t be pure

The gas made will be a mixture of:
Hydrogen bromide
Sulfur dioxide
Bromine vapour (since the reaction is exothermic)

Q

State the direction in which the position of equilibrium would move (if at all) if the pressure was increased by compressing the reaction mixture of:

2HI(g) ⇌ H2(g) + I2(g)

100
Q

State the direction in which the position of equilibrium would move (if at all) if the pressure was increased by compressing the reaction mixture of:

2NO2(g) ⇌ N2O4(g)

A

to the right

101
Q

State the direction in which the position of equilibrium would move (if at all) if the pressure was increased by compressing the reaction mixture of:

2CO(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2CO2(g)

A

to the right

102
Q

Write an equation for the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce steam

A

2H2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2H2O(g)

103
Q

Consider the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce steam

Wrie an expression for Kc

A

Kc = ([H2O]2)/([H2]2[O2])

104
Q

Consider the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce steam

Describe and explain how the equilibrium position is affected by an increase in temperature

A

Forward reaction is exothermic. The equilibrium moves to the left

105
Q

Consider the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce steam

Describe and explain how the equilibrium position is affected by an increase in the total pressure

A

The equilibrium position moves to the right as well the products side has fewer molecules

106
Q

For the Deacon process explain why adding excess oxygen would increase the yield of chlorine

HCl(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH = -114 kJ mol-1

A

The equilibrium position moves to the right to use up the extra oxygen

107
Q

For the Deacon process explain why decreasing the pressure would increase the yield of chlorine

HCl(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH = -114 kJ mol-1

A

There are fewer molecules on the left hand side of the equation than on the right. The equilibrium position moves to the right

108
Q

For the Deacon process explain why decreasing the temperature would increase the yield of chlorine

HCl(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2Cl2(g) + 2H2O(g) ΔH = -114 kJ mol-1

A

The forward reaction is exothermic. The equilibrium position moves to the right

109
Q

This equilibrium exists in bleach:

Cl2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) ⇌ NaCl(aq) + NaOCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Explain why you should never use another cleaning product that is acidic alongside the bleach

A

Adding acid removes NaOH, so NaOH concentration decreases. The equilibrium position moves to the left producing more NaOH and Cl2. Chlorine is a toxic gas
