Iodine (I_(2)) and bromine (Br_(2)) are added to a solution containing iodine and bromide (Br^(-)) ions. What reaction would occur if the concentration of each species is 1M? The electrode potentials for the reaction are: E_(I_(2)//I^(-))^(@)=0.54V,E_(Br_(2)//Br^(-))^(@)=1.08V

Answer»

Solution :The reaction can be either `Br_(2)+2I^(-)to2Br^(-)+I_(2)` or `I_(2)+2Br^(-)to2I^(-)+Br_(2)`
For 1st reaction, E.M.F.`=E_(Br_(2)//Br^(-))^(@)-E_(I_(2)//I^(-))^(@)=1.08-0.54=0.54V`
For 2ND reaction, E.M.F.`=E_(I_(2)//I^(-))^(@)-E_(Br_(2)//Br^(-))^(@)=0.54-1.08=-0.54V`
As E.M.F. is POSITIVE for the 1st reaction, hence the cell reaction is `Br_(2)+2I^(-)to2Br^(-)+I_(2)`.

Iodine forms I_(3)^(-) but F_(2) does not form F_(3)^(-) ions. Why ?

Answer»

Solution :`I_(2)` , because of the presence of vacant d-orbitals, `I_(2)` ACCEPTS electrons from `I^(-)` ions to FORM `I_(3)^(-)` ions but `F_(2)` because of the absence of d-orbitals does not accept electrons from `F^(-)` ions to form `F_(3)^(-)` ions.

Iodine forms I_3^(-)but F_2 does not form F_(3)^(-) ions. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :IODINE FORMS `I_(3)^(-)` by accepting ELECTRONS from `I^-`in its vacant d-orbitals but `F_2` due to the ABSENCE of vacant d-orbitals does not accept electrons from `F^-` to form `F_3^-`ions.

It os practically difficult to calculate the equivalent conductivity of a weak electrolyte in aqueous solutions. Comment.

Answer»

Solution :Equivalent CONDUCTANCE ` = (k xx 1000) `/ normality. The extent of DISSOCIATION of a wea ELECTROLYTE is less. Accordingly the number of ions furnished in aqueous solution is less. The specific CONDUCTIVITY (k) of a weak electrolyte is in the order `10^(-2)S m^(-1)` of or less. Sincek is less, it is difficult to calculate equivalent conductivity of a weak electrolyte.
