Chlorine is a very reactive element. Chlorine reacts with silicon to form silicon(chloride. Describe the appearance of silicon(chloride at room temperature and pressure. State its structure and bonding. appearance structure and bonding Samples of magnesium chloride and phosphorus(chloride are added to separate beakers of cold water. Complete Table 3.1. Ignore temperature changes when considering observations for these reactions. Table 3.1 magnesium chloride phosphorus(chloride appearance at room temperature one similarity in observation on addition to cold water one difference in observation on addition to cold water pH of final solution State the reagent and conditions required for the formation of sodium chlorate(from Cl 2. Explain why the reaction in is described as a disproportionation reaction. Your answer should refer to relevant species and their oxidation numbers. Chlorine reacts with methane in a series of reactions to produce chloroalkanes. State the conditions required for chlorine to react with methane. One of the products of the reaction is CH2Cl 2 which reacts further to produce CHCl 3. Complete Table 3.2 to show details of the mechanism that forms CHCl 3 from CH2Cl 2. Table 3.2 name of step equation initiation propagation CH2Cl 2 + Cl • termination CHCl 3 CHCl 3 and HF are used to form CHCl F2 in a substitution reaction. Construct an equation for this reaction. X is a product of the substitution reaction that occurs when CHCl F2 reacts with Br2. There is only one naturally occurring isotope of fluorine, 19F. The mass spectrum of X shows molecular ion peaks at m / e = 164, 166 and 168. Complete Table 3.3 to show all the molecular ions responsible for each peak.

Molecule M is present in petrol, a fuel used in cars. M is a saturated, non-cyclic hydrocarbon. M contains eight carbon atoms. Construct an equation for the complete combustion of M. Describe how the composition of products differs when incomplete combustion of M occurs. When petrol is burned in an internal combustion engine, oxides of nitrogen are released into the atmosphere. Oxides of nitrogen are responsible for the formation of acid rain. Suggest the conditions required for the production of oxides of nitrogen during combustion of M in an internal combustion engine. Use an appropriate equation in your answer. Describe how acid rain is formed in the atmosphere in the presence of oxides of nitrogen and SO2. Identify the role of the oxides of nitrogen in this process. Include all relevant equations. State one other type of air pollution that is caused by the production of oxides of nitrogen in an internal combustion engine. Biodiesel T is a fuel made from vegetable oil R. shows the production of T from R in a two-step process. R L HO C O (CH2)8CH3 T H3C C O (CH2)8CH3 step 1 step 2 heat with G + concentrated H2SO4 J + H2C O C O O C O (CH2)8CH3 (CH2)8CH3 H2C O C O HC (CH2)8CH3 O In step 1 all three ester groups in R react. Suggest a suitable reagent and conditions for step 1. Draw the structural formula of J in the box in . Name the type of reaction that occurs in step 2. Name organic reagent G used in step 2. L is called decanoic acid. Use systematic nomenclature to deduce the name of T.
