T3: Group 2 and Group 7 Flashcards
reducing agent
electron donor
reducing strength of halides
- increases down the group
- ionic radius increases
- weaker attraction between outer e- and nucleus
H2SO4 -> SO2
Br2, I2 - acidic chocking gas
H2SO4 -> S
I2 - yellow solid
H2SO4 -> H2S
I2 - bad egg smell
Role of H2SO4 with Br2, I2
oxidising agent
iodine half equation
2I- -> I2 + 2e-
I2 appears as…
a black solid
bromine half equation
2Br- -> Br2 + 2e-
Br2 appears as…
brown fumes
H2SO4 -> SO2 half equation
2e- + 2H+ H2SO4 -> SO2 + 2H2O
H2SO4 -> S half equation
6e- + 6H+ H2SO4 -> S + 4H2O
H2SO4 -> H2S half equation
8e- + 8H+ H2SO4 -> H2S + 4H2O
Role of H2SO4 with F, Cl
an acid
flourine half equation
H+ + F- -> HF
flourine observation
misty fumes
NaF + H2SO4 ->
NaHSO4 + HF
chlorine half equation
H+ + Cl- -> HCl
chlorine observation
misty fumes
NaCl + H2SO4 ->
NaHSO4 + HCl
NaBr + H2SO4 combined half equation (SO2)
2Br- + 2H+ + H2SO4 -> SO2 + Br2 + 2H2O
NaI + H2SO4 combined half equation (S)
6I- + 6H+ + H2SO4 -> S + 3I2 + 4H2O
NaI + H2SO4 combined half equation (H2S)
8I- + 8H+ + H2SO4 -> H2S + 4I2 + 4H2O
procedure to identify halide tests
1 dissolve sample in water (in not already in aq solution)
2 add HNO3 acid
3 add AgNO3(aq) solution
4 if halide is present you will see one of the observations
F- = no precipitate
Cl- = white precipitate
Br- = cream precipitate
I- = yellow precipitate
