Q

reaction of sodium bromide with concentrated sulfuric acid

A
  • REDOX REACTION: halogen oxidised
  • steamy fumes of hydrogen bromide
  • colourless SO2
  • brown fumes of bromine

NaBr + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HBr
2HBr + H2SO4 → SO2 + 2H2O

Q

reaction of sodium iodide with concentrated sulfuric acid

A
  • REDOX REACTION: halogen oxidised
  • steamy fumes of hydrogen iodide
  • colourless SO2
  • bad egg smell of hydrogen iodide
  • black solid of iodine

NaI + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + HI
2HI + H2SO4 → SO2 + 2H2O

Q

why is chlorine used for water treatment?

A
  • kills disease-causing microorganisms
  • prevents growth of algae
  • prevents re-infection
17
Q

what are the risks of chlorine?

A
  • toxic
  • skin burns
  • respiratory irritant
  • produces chlorinated hydrocarbons which are carcinogenic
18
Q

why do we use chlorine knowing these risks?

A
  • benefits outweigh risks

- low concentration are used

19
Q

what is produced when chlorine reacts with NaOH?

A
  • sodium chlorate
  • sodium chloride
  • water
20
Q

what is sodium chlorate used for?

A

weed killer

21
Q

what is hydrogen chlorate used in?

A

bleach
