The elements sodium to chlorine, in the third period, all form oxides. Draw a diagram to show the shape of the molecule of each of the oxides, SO3 and Cl 2O. Name each shape. In SO3 each oxygen atom forms a double bond with the sulfur atom. SO3 Cl 2O  Explain why the melting point of MgO is higher than that of Na2O. Explain why the melting point of SiO2 is much higher than that of SO3. SO3 is produced by the reaction between SO2 and O2 in the Contact process. A dynamic equilibrium is established. 2SO2+ O22SO3∆H = –196 kJ mol–1 Explain why increasing the total pressure, at constant temperature, increases the rate of production of SO3 and increases the yield of SO3. rate yield  The graph shows how the concentrations of all three species in the system change with time for a typical reaction mixture. The gradients of all three lines decrease with time and then level off in this dynamic equilibrium. time concentration concentration of SO3 concentration of SO2 concentration of O2 Explain why the gradients of the SO2 and O2 lines decrease with time. Explain why all three lines become horizontal. Suggest a reason why the initial gradient of the SO2 line is steeper than that of the O2 line. 2.00moles of SO2and 2.00moles of O2are sealed in a container with a suitable catalyst, at constant temperature and pressure. The resulting equilibrium mixture contains 1.98moles of SO3. The total volume of the equilibrium mixture is 40.0 dm3. 2SO2+ O22SO3Write the expression for the equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction between SO2and O2to produce SO3. Kc =  Calculate the amount, in moles, of SO2and O2in the equilibrium mixture.  SO2= mol  O2= mol  Use your answers to and to calculate the value of Kc for this equilibrium mixture. Give the units of Kc.  Kc =  units =

The elements in Group 17, the halogens, show trends in both their chemical and physical properties. The elements and their compounds have a wide variety of uses. At room temperature fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid and iodine is a solid. State the trend in the volatility of the Group 17 elements down the group. Explain this trend. Iodine, I2, can be displaced from NaI, by chlorine, Cl 2. Write an equation for this reaction. Silver nitrate solution, AgNO3, is added to separate solutions of NaI and NaCl. Precipitates form. An excess of aqueous ammonia is then added to both precipitates. Complete the table to give the colour and name of the precipitate formed in each reaction and the effect of the addition of an excess of aqueous ammonia to each of the precipitates formed. NaI+ AgNO3NaCl + AgNO3colour of precipitate name of precipitate effect of addition of an excess of aqueous ammonia to the precipitate  Write an ionic equation, including state symbols, to show the reaction occurring when AgNO3is added to NaI. Solid NaI reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to form purple fumes of I2and hydrogensulfide gas, H2S. However, when solid NaCl reacts with concentrated sulfuricacid the only gas produced is HCl . Explain the difference in the reactions of concentrated sulfuricacid with NaI and with NaCl. Your answer should refer to the role of the sulfuric acid in each reaction. Chlorine is commonly used in water purification. When chlorine is added to water it reacts to produce a mixture of acids, one of which is chloric(acid, HCl O, a powerful oxidising agent. Explain the meaning of the term oxidising agent, in terms of electron transfer. Suggest an equation for this reaction of chlorine with water. Write an equation for the reaction of chlorine with hot aqueous sodiumhydroxide. Use oxidation numbers to explain why this is a redox reaction. equation
