25
what is the colour of bromine?
yellow solution
26
what do you react with halide ions to determine which halide ions are present?
silver nitrate
27
what is the role of nitric acid?
-to react with any carbonates present to prevent the formation of the precipitate Ag2CO3 -This would mask the desired observations 2 HNO3 + Na2CO3 → 2 NaNO3 + H2O + CO2
28
do fluorides produce a precipitate?
no
29
what colour precipitate does chloride produce? including chemical equation
-white -Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq) → AgCl(s)
30
what colour precipitate does bromides produce? include chemical equation
-cream precipitate -Ag+(aq) + Br- (aq) → AgBr(s)
31
what colour precipitate does iodide produce and include chemical equation
- yellow precipitate -Ag+(aq) + I- (aq) → AgI(s)
32
what can silver halide be treated with to differentiate the colours if it looks similar?
- silver chloride dissolves in dilute ammonia to form a complex ion : colourless solution - silver bromide dissolves in concentrated ammonia to form a complex ion: colourless solution -silver iodide does not react with ammonia because its too insoluble
33
What happens to the reducing power of halides as you move down group 7?
The reducing power of the halides increases down group 7.
34
Why do halides become stronger reducing agents as their ionic size increases?
As the ions get bigger, it is easier for the outer electrons to be given away due to a smaller pull from the nucleus.
35
What type of reactions occur when fluoride and chloride react with concentrated sulfuric acid?
Only acid-base reactions occur, not redox reactions.
36
What are the observations when NaF reacts with H2SO4?
White steamy fumes of HF are evolved. NaF(s) + H2SO4(l) → NaHSO4 (s) + HF(g)
37
What are the observations when NaCl reacts with H2SO4?
White steamy fumes of HCl are evolved. NaCl(s) + H2SO4 (l) → NaHSO4 (s) + HCl(g)
38
What is the initial reaction type when bromide ions react with concentrated sulfuric acid?
Acid-base reaction.
39
What observations are made when bromide ions react with sulfuric acid?
White steamy fumes of HBr and orange fumes of bromine are evolved, along with a colourless, acidic gas SO2.
40
Fill in the blank: A reducing agent ______ electrons.
donates
41
True or False: Fluoride ions are strong enough reducing agents to reduce sulfur in H2SO4.
False
42
What role does H2SO4 play in the reactions with fluoride and chloride?
H2SO4 acts as an acid (proton donor).
43
Which halide ions are stronger reducing agents than fluoride and chloride?
Bromide ions.
44
What is the reduction product formed from the redox reaction involving H₂SO₄?
sulfur dioxide ## Footnote In the given reactions, sulfur dioxide (SO₂) is produced as a reduction product.
45
What role does H₂SO₄ play in the first step of the reaction?
acid ## Footnote H₂SO₄ acts as an acid producing HI in the first step.
46
What is the strongest halide reducing agent mentioned?
I- ions ## Footnote Iodide ions (I-) are noted for being the strongest halide reducing agents.
47
What does the reaction NaI(s) + H₂SO₄(l) produce?
NaHSO₄(s) + HI(g) ## Footnote This reaction shows the interaction of sodium iodide with sulfuric acid.
48
What gas is evolved that has a bad egg smell during the reaction?
H₂S ## Footnote Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) is known for its characteristic unpleasant odor.
49
What are the observations when HI is evolved in the reaction?
White steamy fumes of HI, black solid and purple fumes of iodine, colorless acidic gas SO₂ ## Footnote These observations highlight the various products formed in the reaction.
50
True or False: H₂SO₄ acts as both an acid and an oxidizing agent in these reactions.
True ## Footnote H₂SO₄ first acts as an acid and then as an oxidizing agent in the redox steps.
51
What is disproportionation?
A reaction where an element simultaneously oxidises and reduces.
52
What is the reaction of chlorine with water?
Cl2 (g) + H2O (l) = HClO (aq) + HCl (aq)
53
What happens when a universal indicator is added to the chlorine-water solution?
It first turns red due to acidity, then turns colourless as HClO bleaches the colour.
54
What occurs when chlorine is bubbled through water in bright sunlight?
Cl2 + 2H2O → 4H+ + 4Cl- + O2
55
What is produced when chlorine reacts with water in sunlight?
A colourless gas (O2) and the greenish colour of chlorine water fades.
56
What is the purpose of chlorine in water treatment?
To kill bacteria and treat drinking water and swimming pools.
57
What is the reaction of chlorine with cold dilute NaOH solution?
Cl2 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + NaClO (aq) + H2O (l)
58
What happens to the colour of the halogen solution when it reacts with cold dilute NaOH?
The colour fades to colourless.
59
What is the mixture of NaCl and NaClO used for?
As bleach and to disinfect/kills bacteria.
60
True or False: Chlorine's health benefits in water treatment outweigh its toxic effects.
True
61
What is the reaction of chlorine with cold dilute NaOH solution?
