Chapter 6 The Periodic Table: Group7 6.1 The Halogens 6.2 Reactions of The Halogens and Their Ions
6.1 What is the outcome from syllabus? Candidates should be able to: ♣describe the trends in volatility and colour of chlorine, bromine and iodine ♣ interpret the volatility of the elements in terms of van der Waals’ forces ♣ describe the relative reactivity of the elements as oxidising agents ♣ describe and explain the reactions of the elements with hydrogen ♣ describe and explain the relative thermal stabilities of the hydrides and their relative stabilities in terms of bond energies
6.1 What is the outcome from syllabus? All the elements in Group 7 are nonmetals except for astatine, which is a radioactive metalloid. These elements are called halogens, which means “salt-former.” All of the halogens form salts with sodium and with the other alkali metals.
red-brown liquid black solid greenish gas 6.1 The Halogens
The melting and boiling temperatures increase as going down the group, because larger atoms makes the van der Waals forces between the molecules stronger. 6.1 The Halogens
This is because theelectronegativity increases as we go up the group, which means that the elements gain electrons more easily. 6.1 The Halogens X + e- → Xˉ reduction halide halogen F Cl Br I Increasing oxidising power For example: Cl2 (aq) + 2Brˉ (aq) → Br2 (aq) + 2Clˉ(aq)

CaF2 + H2SO4(conc.) → CaSO4 + 2HF(g) NaCl + H2SO4(conc.) → NaHSO4 + HCl(g) ∴ NaBr(s) + H3PO4(l) → NaH2PO4(aq) + HBr(g) NaI(s) + H3PO4(l) → NaH2PO4(aq) + HI(g) 6.1 The Halogens Laboratory preparations of HX ∵ 2HBr(g) + H2SO4(conc.) → SO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + Br2(l) 8HI(g) + H2SO4(conc.) → H2S(g) + 4H2O(g) + 4I2(l)

6.1 The Halogens Thermal Stability of HX 2HX(g) → H2(g) + X2(g,l,s) By plunging a red-hot wire into a test tube of the gas: HI: easily decomposed. HBr: may or may not decompose depending on the exact temperature of the wire. HCl and HF: not decomposed.

6.2 What is the outcome from syllabus? Candidates should be able to: ♣ describe and explain the reactions of halide ions with aqueous silver ions followed by: (i) aqueous ammonia (ii) concentrated sulphuric acid ♣ outline a method for the manufacture of chlorine from brine by a diaphragm cell ♣ describe and interpret in terms of changes of oxidation number the reaction of chlorine with cold, and with hot, aqueous sodium hydroxide ♣ explain the use of chlorine in water purification ♣ recognise the industrial importance and environmental significance of the halogens and their compounds, (e.g. for bleaches; PVC; halogenated hydrocarbons as solvents, refrigerants and in aerosols)
6.2 Reactions of the Halogens and Their Ions Test for halide ions The presence of Cl-(aq), Br-(aq) and I-(aq) can be confirmed by adding a few drops of silver nitrate solution (fluorides are soluble): AgNO3(aq) + X-(aq) AgX(s) + NO3-(aq) Silver chloride and bromide dissolve in concentrated ammonia, but the iodide does not.

H2SO4 With bromides and iodides, a redox reaction occurs: NaBr(s) + H2SO4(conc.) → NaHSO4 + HBr(g) 2HBr(g) + H2SO4(conc.) → SO2(g) + 2H2O(g) + Br2(l) NaI(s) + H2SO4(conc.) → NaHSO4 + HI(g) 8HI(g) + H2SO4(conc.) → H2S(g) + 4H2O(g) + 4I2(l)

6.2 Reactions of Halogens and their ions Commercial uses of halogens and their compounds Chlorine is used in water purification as it destroys harmful bacteria that could accumulate in old and unrecycled drinking water. Sodium chlorate(I), NaClO(aq) is used in bleaches. Halogenated hydrocarbons are used as solvents (dichloromethane CH2Cl2 dissolves many organic compounds). CFCs were used as refrigerants and aerosols; section 12.3 They do not contain hydrogen atoms! Some are used as anaesthetics: Fluothane - CF3CHBr.
