Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012from group 1 NaC03 downwards ,the carbonates don't decompose when heated(Original post by VRS)
Explain why the thermal stability increases with nitrates and carbonated down group 1 and 2
Also what are the trends we have to know for group 1,2,7 and across the period? Just trends
This was posted from The Student Room's iPhone/iPad App
only the nitrates of group 1 from Na downwards decompose
so the thermal stability increases down group 2 meaning the carbonates and nitrates become more stable to heat as the ionic radius of the positive ion increases down the group ie the positive ion becomes larger so polarisation of the carbonated electron cloud
i think the only trends you need to know are :
solubility of group 2 hydroxides and sulfates
thermal stabilities of group 1 and 2
and with group 7 there isnt a trend you need to learn except that the ionization energy decrease and the electro negativity also decreases down the group
the main things you need to know about group 7 are its reactions
and the test for halides -
Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012Silver Nitrate for Chloride, Bromide, Iodide ions(Original post by Pandamojia)
Hey, how would u know if you need to use silver nitrate or hexane if u want to test halogen/halide?
Hexane for Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine -

Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012as HF can form hydrogen bonding so more energy needed and H2O has greater b.p then HF as it can from up to 2 hydrogen bonds with one molecule so much stronger(Original post by Exams v__v)
why does NH3 have a lower boiling point than HF and H2O have a higher boiling point than HF? Help, someone!! -
Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012Even NH3 can form H.B, but still why is it's boiling point lower than that of HF?(Original post by fiza_1)

Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012H2O has a higher boiling point than HF because it can form 2 hydrogen bonds as there are 2 electron lone pairs on the oxygen while HF forms 1 hydrogen bond. So more energy required to break the intermolecular forces in H2O than in HF.(Original post by Exams v__v)

Not sure about why NH3 has a lower boiling point than HF -
Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012Yh but isn't it Chlorine from CH3CH2CH2Cl an atom? Yet...we used silver nitrate?(Original post by The Doggfather)
Silver Nitrate for Chloride, Bromide, Iodide ions
Hexane for Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine -
Thank you so much - appreciate it!(Original post by fiza_1)

Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012Cant the delta positive 2 hydrogens also form hydrogen bonds? So in all, 4 hydrogen bonds in water molecules?(Original post by The Doggfather)

Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012Add Silver Nitrate and Dilute Nitric Acid(Original post by Pandamojia)
And how would u know to use hexane or silver nitrate to test halide?
Chloride - White ppt
Bromide - Cream ppt
Iodide - Yellow ppt
In Hexane
Chlorine - Colourless
Bromine - Orange-Red
Iodine - Pink-Violet
In Water
Chlorine - Colourless
Bromine - Yellow-Orange
Iodine - Brown
If the Halogen is not bonded to another atom, then add to Hexane or Water. Otherwise add Silver Nitrate and Dilute Nitric acid e.g. KCl, KBrLast edited by The Doggfather; 23-05-2012 at 10:14. -
Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012They can form hydrogen bonds with the oxygen on another water molecule but that's the same as when the oxygen forms hydrogen bonds with hydrogen's if you know what I mean. So don't include them, it's 2 hydrogen bonds per water molecule because of 2 electron lone pairs.(Original post by Exams v__v)

Re: Chemistry Unit 2 Edexcel, Exam- 23rd May 2012In H2O the O only has 2 pair of lone electrons so only 2 hydrogen bonds can occur.(Original post by Exams v__v)
