Sodium reacts with fluorine to form sodiumfluoride, NaF. Write a chemical equation for this reaction. Sodiumfluoride is an ionic compound. Complete the diagram to show the electron arrangement in the outer shells of the ions present in sodiumfluoride. Give the charges on both ions. Na F  Aqueous sodiumfluoride undergoes electrolysis. State what is meant by the term electrolysis. Name the products formed at the positive electrode and the negative electrode when dilute aqueous sodiumfluoride undergoes electrolysis. anode cathode  Molten sodiumfluoride undergoes electrolysis. Name the products formed at the positive electrode and the negative electrode when molten sodiumfluoride undergoes electrolysis. anode cathode  Write the ionic half-equation for the reaction at the negative electrode . Complete the dot-and-cross diagram to show the electron arrangement in a molecule of fluorine, F2. Show the outer electrons only. F F  The melting points and boiling points of fluorine and sodiumfluoride are shown. melting point / °C boiling point / °C fluorine –220 –188 sodium fluoride Deduce the physical state of fluorine at –195 °C. Use the data in the table to explain your answer. physical state explanation  Explain, in terms of structure and bonding, why sodiumfluoride has a much higher melting point than fluorine. Your answer should refer to the: ● types of particle held together by the forces of attraction ● types of forces of attraction between particles ● relative strength of the forces of attraction.

This question is about salts. Salts that are soluble in water can be made by the reaction between insoluble carbonates and dilute acids. Zincsulfate is soluble in water. You are provided with solid zinc carbonate, ZnCO3, and dilute sulfuric acid, H2SO4. Describe how you would make a pure sample of zincsulfate crystals. Your answer should include: ● practical details ● how you would make sure that all the dilute sulfuric acid has reacted ● a chemical equation for the reaction. Some sulfates decompose when heated. When hydrated iron(sulfate is heated strongly, sulfurdioxide gas is given off. Describe a test for sulfurdioxide. test observations  Complete the equation for the decomposition of hydrated iron(sulfate. FeSO4•7H2O → Fe2O3 + SO2 + SO3 + H2O Some chlorides are hydrated. When hydrated bariumchloride crystals, BaCl 2•xH2O, are heated they give off water. BaCl 2•xH2O→ BaCl 2+ xH2OA student carries out an experiment to determine the value of x in BaCl 2•xH2O. step 1 Hydrated bariumchloride crystals are weighed. step 2 The hydrated bariumchloride crystals are then heated. step 3 The remaining solid is weighed. Describe how the student can be sure that all the water is given off. In an experiment, 4.88 g of BaCl 2•xH2O is heated until all the water is given off. The mass of BaCl 2 remaining is 4.16 g. [Mr: BaCl 2, 208; H2O, 18] Determine the value of x using the following steps. ● Calculate the number of moles of BaCl 2 remaining.  mol ● Calculate the mass of H2O given off.  g ● Calculate the number of moles of H2O given off.  mol ● Determine the value of x.  x =
