For disinfection purposes, chlorine, Cl2, and chloroamine, NH2Cl, are introduced into our tap water to destroy bacteria and viruses. However, these two chlorine–containing compounds are extremely harmful to fishes as they cause gill burns and blood poisoning. The typical concentration of some chemical species found in our tap water are listed in Table 1.1. Table 1.1 chemical species concentration / mol dm-3 Cl2 3.24 ´ 10-5 NH2Cl 3.88 ´ 10-5 PO43- 1.26 ´ 10-7 Fe (as Fe2+ & Fe3+) 1.08 ´ 10-7 To prepare an aquarium tank, a water conditioner containing sodium thiosulfate, Na2S2O3, is added to the tank to remove both the aqueous chlorine and chloroamine present in tap water. Sodium thiosulfate reacts with chlorine and chloroamine respectively as shown in the reactions below. 4Cl2 + S2O32- + 5H2O ® 8Cl- + 2SO42- + 10H+ NH2Cl + 2S2O32− + H2O ® NH3 + Cl− + S4O62− + OH− (i) Calculate the volume of 0.010 mol dm-3 sodium thiosulfate solution that would be required to prepare a tank containing 360 dm3 of water. [3] (ii) State the full electronic configuration of iron in Fe3(PO4)2. ……………………………………………………………………………………....[1]

However, hydrogen chloride is produced industrially by treatment of halide salts with sulfuric acid. On the other hand, hydrogen iodide, HI, is produced by the reaction of iodine with hydrogen sulfide or with hydrazine. (i) Explain briefly why it is not industrially viable to produce HCl through the direct reaction of hydrogen with chlorine. ……………………………………………………………………………………........ ……………………………………………………………………………………....[1] (ii) Write a balanced equation showing the formation of HI from iodine and hydrogen su
