Q

What are the two steps of a iodine-thiosulfate titration?

A

Use an oxidising agent to oxidise as much iodine as possible
- excess acidic potassium iodide

Titration iodine with sodium thiosulfste to calculate moles of iodine produced

then calculate concentration of oxidising agent from this

Q

What is the trend in volatility of halogens? why?

A

Decrease down group

the strength of the IDID intermolecular bonds inceeases down group due to more electrons

Q

Trend in reactivity of halogens? And 2 reasons?

Study These Flashcards
A

Decrease in reactivity

Less shielding at top
So stronger attraction to extra electrons from nucleus

25
How do you prepare HCl?
Add sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid to chlorine ions
26
How do you prepare HBr and HI?
Add concentrated phosphoric acid to NaI/Br
27
Trend in thermal stability of hydrogen halides
Decreases down group as bond strength decreases due to shielding
28
Acidity of halogen halides?
All strong acids apart from HF which is a weak acid
29
Reaction of hydrogen halides with ammonia?
Produce ammonium halide -> white fumes
30
Reactions of hydrogen halides with sulfuric acid?
HCl- no reaction HBr- SO2 HI- H2S
31
what are properties of dynamic equilibrium?
must be a closed system rate of forwards reaction = rate of backwards reaction concentrations are constant
32
``` Kc>>1 kc> 1 kc=1 kc<1 kc<<1 ```
reaction appears to have gone to completion - equilibrium lies far to the right more products than reactants - equilibrium lies far to the right equilibrium is in he centre more reactants than products - equilibrium is to the left reaction appears to not have happened - equilibrium lies far to the left
33
effect on Kc of pressure temperature concentration of a reactant
changes Kc changes Kc no effect on Kc
34
why doesn't changing the concentration of a reactant change the Kc
if a concentration term on the top becomes larger one on the bottom must also become larger to keep Kc constant so equilibrium position moves to left etc
35
what are the uses of chlorine?
sterilising water by killing bacteria bleaching
36
what are the risks associated with storing and transporting chlorine?
it is toxic and corrosive - keep away from eyes and skin and when breathed in irritates respiratory system is an oxidising agent so needs to be kept away from flamable materials needs to be stored under pressure in small cylinders
37
what is the solubility of Ag Cl AgBr AgI with ammonia?
soluble in dilute and concentrated ammonia soluble in concentrated ammonia ppt does not dissolve
38
Describe the trends in the halogens.
Down the group: darker in colour, melting and boiling points increase, less volatile, more soluble. Most reactive non-metals. All diatomic. Single covalent bonds.
39
Describe halide reactions with silver
Silver chloride is white Silver bromide is cream Silver iodide is yellow
40
Describe the production of bromine.
Chlorine is added to acidified sea water to displace bromine ions. Bromine vapour and water are given off. Vapours are condensed, forming two layers. Impure bromine is distilled and dried. Dense bromine is run off.
41
Describe the electrolysis of brine.
Forms chlorine, hydrogen and sodium hydroxide. Anode: 2Cl- > Cl2 + 2e-. Cathode: 2H2O + 2e- > 2OH- + H2. Overall: 2Cl- + 2H2O > Cl2 + 2OH- + H2.
42
Describe the electrolysis of a molten compound.
Solid ionic compounds don't conduct electricity. If this compound is melted, charged ions are free to move and carry a current. Cations go to the cathode. Produces a metal. Anions go to the anode. Produces a non-metal.
43
Describe the electrolysis of solution.
Water can be reduced at the cathode or oxidised at the anode. At the cathode: metal ions from the salt + water. More reactive metals remain as ions and hydrogen. Less reactive metals are played onto the cathode. At the anode: negative ions from the salt + water. Halides produce the halogen. Other negative ions produce oxygen.
44
Describe chlorine transportation.
Chlorine is transported as a pressurised liquid in a fixed volume. Able to vent some chlorine as a gasm The routine check involved soaking a cloth in concentrated ammonia solution. If there is a leak, a white cloud of ammonium chloride is produced
45
What effect does chlorine have?
Irritates eyes, skin and respiratory system. | Reacts in the lungs to form hydrochloric acid.
46
Describe the Deacon process.
4HCl + O2 <> 2Cl2 + 2H2O. Passed over a catalyst. High pressure, low temperature, excess oxygen. Production of PVC: CH2=CH2 + Cl2 > CH2ClCH2Cl. CH2ClCH2Cl > CH2=CHCl + HCl.
47
Describe the effect of changing concentrations on equilibrium.
Increasing reactants goes to products. Increasing products goes to reactants. Decreasing reactants goes to reactants. Decreasing products goes to products.
48
Describe the effects of changing pressures on equilibrium.
Increase goes to the side of fewer gas moles. | Decrease goes to the side of more gas moles.
49
Describe the effects of changing temperature on equilibrium.
Heating favours the endothermic reaction. | Cooling favours the exothermic reaction.
