Q

what happen during thermal stability reaction

A

when carbonate/nitrate ion is placed near positive G2 ion the G2 ion attracts the delocalised electrons towards itself. The carbonate/nitrate ion becomes polarized which then weakens the C-O bond. If this is heated then the CO2 breaks free and forms a metal oxide

Q

how the reaction between carbonate ion & G2 cation change as you go down the group

A
  • As you go down the group the size of ion increases which decreases the charge density.
  • The ability to polarize the carbonate ion decreases
  • The C-O bond in the carbonate ion is weakened less

35
Q

why do we get different colours in the flame test

A

Electrons in the shells move to higher energy levels as they absorb energy from the flame. When they drop back down to lower energy level, they release energy in the form of light. The colour depends on the wavelength of light energy transmitted.

36
Q

why do some ions not have a colour

A

When some electrons drop back down to lower orbitals, the energy emitted may not have a wavelength in the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which explains why not all atoms and ions produce a colour in the flame test.

51
Q

what happens to MP/BP as you go down the group & why for G7

A
  • Increase as you go down the group
  • As you go down the group the number of electrons increase
  • Also the molecule gets larger as you go down the group
  • Due to these 2 factors there is a greater instantaneous dipole induced dipole force
  • Therefore it will have stronger London Forces
52
Q

what happens to electronegativity as you go down the group and why for G7

A
  • The electronegativity decreases
  • This is due to an increase in atomic radii which means that the outer electrons are further from nucleus
  • This means that the incoming electron will experience more shielding.
53
Q

what happens to reactivity as you go down the group and why for G7

A
  • The reactivity decreases as you go down the group
  • As you go down the group the atoms become larger so outer electron are further away and therefore more shielding for incoming electrons
54
Q

what is the solubility of G7 in water like

A
  • Since water is polar & G7 aren’t they aren’t able to dissolve fully
  • Fluorine reacts violently
  • The other halogens dissolve in water to some extent
55
Q

what do the solutions of halogens dissolved in water look like

A

  • Br: Orange at top and clear aqueous layer at bottom
  • I : Brown at top & clear aqueous layer at bottom
56
Q

what is the solubility of halogens in cyclohexane like

A
  • They are both polar and so they dissolve due to london forces being attracted to each other
57
Q

what do the solutions of halogen being dissolved in cyclohexane look like

A
  1. CL: Pale green at top and clear aqueous layer at bottom
  2. Br: Orange at top & clear aqueous layer at bottom

66
Q

what is the equation of the reaction of Chlorine with water

67
Q

what is the equation of chlorine with cold alkali (15 degrees)

68
Q

what is the equation of chlorine with hot alkali (70 degrees)

A

5Cl2(g) + 6NaOH(aq) → 5NaCl(aq) + NaClO (aq) + 3H2O(l)

69
Q

what happens to oxidising power of halogens as you go down group & why

A
  • Decrease
  • This is due to the larger radii as you go down the group which causes sheilding and further distance from nucleus means it can’t attract an incoming electron
  • They are known as oxidising agents
70
Q

what happens to reduction ability of halides as you go down the group and why

A
  • Increases
  • This is because it gets easier to donate an electron due to weak force of attraction between positive nucleus & negative electron

  • NaCl + H2SO4 = NaHSO4 + HCl
  • The HCL can be seen as a misty white fume
72
Q

what are the 2 reactions of bromine with sulphuric acid, and why it happens as well as the observation made

A
  1. H2SO4 + NaBr = HBr + NaHSO4
  2. 2HBr + H2SO4 = SO2 + Br2 + 2H2O
  • The bromine in HBr is sufficiently strong reducing agent to reduce sulphuric acid into sulphur dioxide while being oxidised itself into Bromine gas
  • The bromine gas can be seen as a redish-brown gas
73

    - The iodine can be seen as a purple vapour
75
Q

what is the third reaction of iodide with sulphuric acid, why it happens and the observation

A
  1. 6HI + H2SO4 = S + 3I2 + 4H2O

    - This can be seen as a yellow sold
76
Q

what is the fourth reaction of iodide with sulphuric acid, why it happens and what is the observation

A
  1. 8HI + H2SO4 = H2S + 4I2 + 4H2O
