Explain the following observations: (a) for a given oxidation state, the acid strength of the oxyacid in aqueous solution decreases in the order chlorine \(>\) bromine \(>\) iodine. (b) Hydrofluoric acid cannot be stored in glass bottles. (c) Hi cannot be prepared by treating NaI with sulfuric acid. (d) The interhalogen \(\mathrm{ICl}_{3}\) is known, but \(\mathrm{BrCl}_{3}\) is not.
An aqueous solution of \(\mathrm{SO}_{2}\) reduces (a) aqueous \(\mathrm{KMnO}_{4}\) to \(\mathrm{MnSO}_{4}(a q)\), (b) acidic aqueous \(\mathrm{K}_{2} \mathrm{Cr}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) to aqueous \(\mathrm{Cr}^{3+}\), (c) aqueous \(\mathrm{Hg}_{2}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\) to mercury metal. Write balanced equations for these reactions.
Write balanced equations for each of the following reactions. (a) When mercury(II) oxide is heated, it decomposes to form \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\) and mercury metal. (b) When copper(II) nitrate is heated strongly, it decomposes to form copper(II) oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen. (c) Lead(II) sulfide, \(\mathrm{PbS}(\mathrm{s})\), reacts with ozone to form \(\mathrm{PbSO}_{4}(s)\) and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) .\) (d) When heated in air, \(\mathrm{ZnS}(s)\) is converted to \(\mathrm{ZnO}\). (e) Potassium peroxide reacts with \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\) to give potassium carbonate and \(\mathrm{O}_{2}\).
Boron nitride has a graphite-like structure with \(\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{N}\) bond distances of \(1.45 \AA\) within sheets and a separation of \(3.30 \AA\) between sheets. At high temperatures the \(B N\) assumes a diamondlike form that is almost as hard as diamond. Rationalize the similarity between \(\mathrm{BN}\) and elemental carbon.
Write the chemical formula for each of the following compounds, and indicate the oxidation state of the halogen or noble-gas atom in each: (a) chlorate ion, (b) hydroiodic acid, (c) iodine trichloride, (d) sodium hypochlorite, (e) perchloric acid, (f) xenon tetrafluoride.
