Periodicity of the Halogens
Goal: To design and carry out an experiment that will give enough data to rank the three halogens from highest to lowest electron affinity.
Background: The three aqueous solutions given in this experiment are Iodine, Bromine, and Chlorine; they are all non-polar and dissolve easily in Hexane which is also non-polar. When there is a color change in a mixture that means that it reacted and that there was a double displacement reaction when there is no change then it didn’t react because it isn’t possible. Cl2 + 2NaBr  Br2 + 2NaCl Cl2 + 2NaI  I2 + 2NaCl Br2 + 2NaCl  Cl2 + 2NaBr NOT POSSIBLE Br2 + 2NaI  I2 + 2NaBr I2 + 2NaCl  Cl­2 + 2NaI NOT POSSIBLE I2 + 2NaBr  Br2 + 2NaI NOT POSSIBLE
Procedure: Six flasks were obtained for the three substances each flask had 10 drops of Hexane in each then flasks 1 & 2 had 10 drops of Cl in them, 3 & 4 had 10 drops Br and 5 & 6 had 10 drops of I. Then in flask one 10 drops of sodium bromide were distributed into it. Next ten drops of sodium iodide were put into flask 2, followed by putting 10 drops of sodium chloride into flask 3 and 10 drops of sodium iodide into flask four. Afterwards 10 drops of sodium chloride and 10 drops of sodium bromide were put into flasks 5 & 6 respectively. A cork was placed on the top of each of these flasks so outside air wouldn’t interfere with the reaction and observations were made.

Conclusion: Electron affinity highest to lowest: Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine. They are in this order because Chlorine reacted with both NaBr and NaI, Bromine only reacted with NaI and Iodine didn’t react with either of the other mixtures. Just the way how they reacted was how you could tell which was which. And

    In this experiment two solutions were prepared for two kinetic runs. Solution #1 (50%ethanol 50% water) and Solution #2 (40% ethanol and 60% water) was added to another Erlenmeyer flask. Next, 0.10M of NaOH was filled up to the 0.00ml mark in two 50-ml burettes. Placing the flask containing solution 1 on the magnetic stirrer and clamp a burette containing 0.10M of NaOH above the flask. The two kinetic runs will be carried out one after another. A stir bar was placed into the flask containing solution #1 and 3-5 drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution to the reaction flask. To start the reaction, 4.91x10^-3 mol of alkyl halide to the stirring reaction mixture. The timer was started at the instant of this reaction. When enough HCl formed to neutralize the NaOH that was initially added, the pink color turned clear. The time was recorded.…

    The purpose of the lab “All in the Family” was to compare the reactivity of the halogens Chlorine, Bromine, and iodine by observing the reactions between their elemental forms and their ionic forms. To accomplish this experiment, we first added a squirt of pet ether to two test tubes. Then, we added the same amount of Cl2 to both of the tubes, shook the mixtures, and recorded the color that resided in each mixture as the initial color. After, a squirt of NaBr was added to one test tube, and a squirt of Nal was added to the other in order to view the reaction between both of the Halides with Cl2. Both test tubes were shaken again, and the colors that remained was noted. The same process was repeated 2 seperate times but instead with Br2 and I2 as…
