Q

Trends in boiling point down group 7

A

Increases down the group.
- Mr increases down the group
- More electrons, means increased dipole-dipole attractions
- Greater VDWs between molecules
- More energy must be supplied to break the stronger IMFs.

Q

Reaction of conc. H2SO4 with NaBr (s)

- products, sodium hydrogen carbonate, hydrogen bromide, bromine, water and sulfur dioxide
- misty white fumes (HBr), red-brown vapor (SO2)

Q

Method for testing for halide ions

A

1- Make a solution of the compound using dilute nitric acid
2- Add silver nitrate solution and record the color of the precipitate
3- Add dilute or concentrated ammonia solution

17
Q

Why is dilute nitric acid added?

A

Removes other ions that would react with the silver ions in the silver nitrate solution.

18
Q

Testing for chloride ions (Cl-)

A

With silver nitrate solution - White ppt
Add dilute ammonia solution- White ppt dissolves to form colorless solution
Add conc. ammonia solution- white ppt dissolves to form colorless solution

19
Q

Testing for Bromide ions (Br-)

A

With silver nitrate solution- cream ppt
Add dilute ammonia solution- cream ppt remains
Add conc. ammonia solution- white ppt dissolves to form colorless solution

20
Q

Testing for Iodide ions (I-)

A

With silver nitrate solution- yellow ppt
Add dilute ammonia solution- yellow ppt remains
Add conc. ammonia solution- yellow ppt remains, is insoluble in conc. ammonia solution

21
Q

Reaction of chlorine with cold, dilute aqueous NaOH

A

Produces chlorate (I) ions, ClO-
2NaOH + Cl2 –> NaCl + NaClO + H2O
- green (cl) gas reacts to form a colorless solution
- Redox reaction, chlorine is oxidized from oxidation state of 0 in Cl2 to +1 in NaClO
- Chlorine is also reduced from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in NaCl

22
Q

Uses of Chlorate ion

A

The chlorate (I) ions are responsible for bleaching mechanism, it kills bacteria and micro-organisms. Used in bleach.

23
Q

Reaction of chlorine and water to form chloride ions and chlorate (I) ions.

A

Forms chloride ions and chlorate (I) ions
Cl2(g) + H2O(l) –> HCl + HClO (reversible)
- Cl slightly soluble in water and produces a pale green solution
- Some Cl react with water to form a mixture of HCl and HClO

24
Q

Reaction of chlorine and water to form chloride ions and oxygen

A

In the sunlight the chloric (I) acid decomposes into hydrochloric acid. The equation is:
Cl2 + 2H2O –> 4HCl + O2
This means chlorine is rapidly lost from pool water in sunlight.

25
Q

Benefits of why chlorine used in water treatment?

A
  • kills disease-causing microorganisms
  • prevents growth of algae and prevents bad tastes and smells
  • Removes discoloration caused by organic compounds.
26
Q

How is chlorine used in water treatment?

A

Chlorine is added to water in dilute concentrations.
- The HClO reacts with bacteria in water
- Position of equilibrium moves to the right to replace the HClO thats reacted - SO when HClO has done its job there is little Cl left in the water.
