2 Section A Answer all the questions in this section. 1 The halogens are elements in Group 17 of the Periodic Table . The name “halogen” translates to “salt producer”, due to their tendency to form salts readily in the presence of Group 1 metals such as sodium. (a) (i) Citing relevant data values, state and explain the trend of reactivity of the halogens as oxidising agents. [3] (ii) Outline a procedure to demonstrate the relative reactivities of chlorine and bromine, given only the following reagents to choose from: Cl2(aq) Cl–(aq) Br2(aq) Br–(aq) [2] ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... …………………………………………………………………… …………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...

3 [Turn over (b) Gaseous PCl3 and PCl5 exist in an equilibrium. PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) At 250 °C, the Kc for this equilibrium has a value of 26.0. (i) A sample of solid PC l5 is added into a sealed 2 dm 3 container at 250 °C, and the solid quickly sublimes. After equilibrium was established, there was found to be 0.20 mol of Cl2. Determine the initial mass of solid PCl5 added. [4] (ii) In a modified experiment, some Na(s) was present in the container initially before addition of solid PCl5 (all other conditions were kept the same). Explain the effect of this on the position of equilibrium, and the value of Kc. [3] (iii) In the solid state, PCl5 exists as an ionic solid, with [PCl6]– as the anion. Identify a formula unit of the ionic solid. [1] (iv) Describe how PCl5 acts as a base in the formation of [PC l6]–, writing an equation to explain your answer. [1] (v) Unlike PCl5, PI5 does not exist. Suggest an explanation for why this is the case.

5 [Turn over (c) A 25.0 cm3 sample of water contains chlorine, Cl2, and monochloramine, NH2Cl. The amounts of chlorine and monochloramine in this sample can be analysed using the DPD-FAS titration method, where DPD serves as the indicator and Fe2+ the titrant. The concentration of chlorine is determined first: Step 1: Excess of indicator DPD (colourless) is added to the 25.0 cm 3 sample, turning the indicator magenta and reducing Cl2. DPD + Cl2 → DPD2+ + 2Cl– colourless magenta Step 2: The resultant mixture is then titrated against Fe2+. DPD2+ + 2Fe2+ → DPD + 2Fe3+ From the same mixture, the concentration of monochloramine is determined next: Step 3: A small amount of catalyst is added, catalysing the reduction of NH2Cl. DPD + NH2Cl + 2H+ → DPD2+ + NH4+ + Cl– Step 4: The resultant mixture is then titrated against Fe2+, same as Step 2. DPD2+ + 2Fe2+ → DPD + 2Fe3+ When 0.0010 mol dm -3 of Fe 2+ was used as the titrant, the titres obtained at the end of Steps 2 and 4 are 15.00 cm3 and 5.00 cm3 respectively. (i) Calculate the amount of Cl2 in the 25.0 cm3 water sample. [1] (ii) Calculate the amount of NH2Cl in the 25.0 cm3 water sample. [1] (iii) Hence, determine the total concentration of Cl atoms (in g dm-3) in the water sample.
