- 2NaBr + 2H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + Br2 + SO2 + 2H2O - Br- ions are bigger than Cl - ions - Therefore Br- ions more easily oxidised / lose an electron more easily (than Cl- ons)

Explain the differing reducing powers of halides.

- A reducing agent donates electrons. - The reducing power of the halides increases down group 7 - They have a greater tendency to donate electrons. - This is because as the ions get bigger it is easier for the outer electrons to be given away as the pull from the nucleus on them becomes smaller.

Why is silver nitrate acidified before reacting it with halides?

- HNO3 (aq) added to test solution first to remove (neutralise) any CO3 2- or OH- impurities present - CO3 2- / OH- interfere with test because: - AgCO3 = white precipitate - AgOH = brown precipitate Tip: You can't use hydrochloric acid instead of nitric acid because the silver nitrate would just react with the chloride ions from the HCI - and that would mess up your results completely.

Describe the reaction of sodium bromide and conc. sulfuric acid.

1. NaI + H2SO4 → HI + NaHSO4 - Acid base reaction - HI is steamy fumes - I- ions strongest reducing agent so secondary redox reaction occur 2. 2HI + H2SO4 → I2 + SO2 + 2H2O - Redox reaction - I2 observed as purple fumes (or maybe black solid) - SO2 is colourless gas - Sulfur has been reduced = +6 → +4 - Iodine has been oxidised = -1 → 0 - I- such a strong reducing agent that two further reactions happen. 3. 6HI + H2SO4 → 3I2 + S + 4H2O - Redox reaction - I2 observed as purple fumes (or maybe black solid) - S shown as yellow solid - Sulfur has been reduced = +6 → 0 4. 8HI + H2SO4 → 4I2 + H2S + 4H2O - I2 observed as purple fumes (or maybe black solid) - H2S is pungent gas (smells like rotten eggs) - Sulfur has been reduced = +6 → -2 (Note: the H2SO4 plays the role of acid in the first step producing HI and then acts as an oxidising agent in the three redox steps.)

Q: Anhydrous strontium chloride is not used in toothpaste because it absorbs water from the atmosphere. The hexahydrate, SrCl2.6H2O, is preferred. A chemist was asked to determine the purity of a sample of strontium chloride hexahydrate. The chemist weighed out 2.25 g of the sample and added it to 100 cm³ of water. The mixture was warmed and stirred for several minutes to dissolve all of the strontium chloride in the sample. The mixture was then filtered into a conical flask. An excess of silver nitrate solution was added to the flask and the contents swirled for 1 minute to make sure that the precipitation was complete. The silver chloride precipitate was separated from the mixture by filtration. The precipitate was washed several times with deionised water and dried carefully. The chemist weighed the dry precipitate and recorded a mass of 1.55 g. The equation for the reaction between strontium chloride and silver nitrate is SrCl2 + 2AgNO3 → 2AgCl + Sr(NO3)2 Several steps in the practical procedure were designed to ensure an accurate value for the percentage by mass of strontium chloride hexahydrate in the sample. 1. Explain why the solution of strontium chloride was filtered to remove insoluble impurities before the addition of silver nitrate. (1 MARK) 2.
