Question

PART A 1. Based on your observations, which is the stronger oxidizing agent, chlorine (bleach) or iodine? Provide a one-sentence reason why your answer follows from your observation. 2. a. Predict whether NaOBr would be able to oxidize I to iodine (I) or whether, rather, I would oxidize Br to Br+. b. On the basis of your prediction formulate a periodic trend for oxidizing power. Does it increase as you go down the periodic table or does it decrease? c. How do your observations and predictions support the trend you propose? 3. a. Why do you think you were instructed to separate remaining metal from the solution before adding the bleach (think of a chemical reason)? b. Suggest what you would have observed if you had not done so.

Answer 1

1. The stronger gesoridrang wegentis chlorine. Oridiging egen read of his chloring to the io dine Solution of he chlorine Oxidizes the Negatively charged todine. @ @. ya, NooB8 would be able to Owidige I" to Todine (12) Go down in the periodic table - Oridiging power decrearel. Become chlooine was the stronger Oxidiging agent compared to To dine.So the predictions Support the trend gopropune" ③ we were indeguicted oneperate the Remaining meter from the noration Before adding Bleach become bleach would have oxidized the tire indead of Iodine.. we oferred the zinc Chonge color instead of the solution and wouldn't love been able to know which was a st gorger ovidinging
