Halogens are a group of elements in the periodic table that includes fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl), bromine (Br), iodine (I), and astatine (At). They are located in Group 17 or Group VIIA of the periodic table.

Halogens are highly reactive nonmetals that have seven electrons in their outermost energy level (except for astatine, which has only six). This makes them very reactive and they readily form compounds with other elements.

Here are some examples of halogens and their uses:

  1. Chlorine: Chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas that is used to purify water in swimming pools and drinking water supplies. It is also used to make many household cleaning products.
  2. Fluorine: Fluorine is a pale yellow gas that is used in the production of many industrial chemicals, including refrigerants and plastics.
  3. Bromine: Bromine is a reddish-brown liquid that is used in flame retardants, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals.
  4. Iodine: Iodine is a bluish-black solid that is used in the production of disinfectants and pharmaceuticals. It is also an important nutrient for human health, as it is necessary for the production of thyroid hormones.
  5. Astatine: Astatine is a radioactive element that is not found in nature. It has few uses outside of scientific research.

 

Halogens are a group of highly reactive nonmetals that have seven electrons in their outermost energy level. They are used in a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications, from water purification to the production of pharmaceuticals

CHLORINE

Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. It is one of the halogens and is found in the periodic table in group 17. Chlorine is a highly reactive, greenish-yellow gas with a pungent odor. It is the second-lightest halogen after fluorine and forms a diatomic molecule with itself.

Chlorine has a wide range of applications, such as in the production of PVC plastic, pesticides, and water purification. It is also used as a disinfectant in swimming pools and in the production of paper products. Chlorine is highly toxic in its pure form and can cause severe burns and respiratory problems.

In terms of its chemical properties, chlorine is highly electronegative and reactive, making it able to form compounds with many other elements. It reacts with metals to form chlorides, and with nonmetals to form covalent compounds. Chlorine also reacts with hydrogen to form hydrochloric acid (HCl) and with oxygen to form chlorine dioxide (ClO2).

Chlorine was first discovered in 1774 by Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele. It was later used as a weapon in World War I, causing severe injuries and fatalities. Today, it is mainly used for industrial purposes and water treatment

 

LABORATORY PREPARATION OF CHLORINE

Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with an oxidizing agent. One common method of preparation involves the reaction of hydrochloric acid with manganese dioxide (MnO2):

  1. Mix hydrochloric acid (HCl) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) in a round-bottomed flask.
  2. Heat the mixture gently under reflux (with a condenser on top of the flask) to initiate the reaction.

2HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + Cl2 + H2O

  1. Collect the chlorine gas by upward displacement of air in a gas jar. Since chlorine is denser than air, it will displace the air in the jar and collect at the bottom.
  2. Chlorine gas is yellow-green in color and has a pungent odor. It is highly toxic and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated laboratory with proper safety equipment.

Other oxidizing agents that can be used to prepare chlorine in the laboratory include potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). The reaction conditions and procedures may vary depending on the oxidizing agent used.

It should be noted that the preparation of chlorine in the laboratory is not recommended for inexperienced chemists and should only be carried out under the supervision of a qualified teacher or laboratory professional

 

 

INDUSTRIAL PREPARATION OF CHLORINE

Chlorine is an important industrial chemical that is widely used in many industries, such as the production of PVC plastic, bleach, and water treatment. There are several methods for the industrial preparation of chlorine, including:

  1. Chlor-alkali process: The chlor-alkali process involves the electrolysis of a brine solution (sodium chloride in water) using a diaphragm cell or membrane cell. Chlorine gas is produced at the anode while hydrogen gas and caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) are produced at the cathode.
  2. Deacon process: The Deacon process involves the oxidation of hydrogen chloride (HCl) using a catalyst, usually copper chloride (CuCl2). The reaction takes place at high temperatures and produces chlorine gas and water.

4HCl + O2 → 2Cl2 + 2H2O

  1. Weldon process: The Weldon process involves the reaction of manganese dioxide (MnO2) with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to produce chlorine gas and manganese chloride (MnCl2). The manganese chloride is then reacted with lime (Ca(OH)2) to regenerate the manganese dioxide.

4HCl + MnO2 → MnCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O MnCl2 + Ca(OH)2 → MnO2 + CaCl2 + 2H2O

  1. Dow process: The Dow process involves the electrolysis of a brine solution using a mercury cathode. Chlorine gas is produced at the anode and reacts with the mercury to form mercury(II) chloride, which is then oxidized to regenerate the mercury.

2NaCl + 2H2O → Cl2 + H2 + 2NaOH

These industrial methods for the preparation of chlorine are widely used due to their efficiency and large-scale production capabilities. However, they must be carried out with care and proper safety precautions due to the toxicity and hazardous nature of chlorine gas

Five chemical properties of chlorine, along with their balanced equations, are:

  1. Chlorine reacts with metals to form metal chlorides: 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
  2. Chlorine reacts with nonmetals to form covalent compounds: H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
  3. Chlorine reacts with hydrogen to form hydrochloric acid: H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl
  4. Chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid: Cl2 + H2O → HOCl + HCl
  5. Chlorine reacts with organic compounds, such as hydrocarbons, to form chlorinated organic compounds: CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl

It should be noted that chlorine is a highly reactive and potentially hazardous chemical, and these reactions should only be performed by trained professionals with proper safety equipment and precautions

COMPOUNDS OF CHLORINE

HYDROGEN CHLORIDE

Compounds of Chlorine: Chlorine forms compounds with a wide range of elements, such as metals, nonmetals, and metalloids. Some examples of chlorine compounds include sodium chloride (NaCl), hydrogen chloride (HCl), chlorine dioxide (ClO2), and chloroform (CHCl3). Chlorine compounds are widely used in various industries, such as in the production of PVC plastic, bleach, and pesticides.

Hydrogen Chloride: Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a covalent compound composed of hydrogen and chlorine. It is a colorless gas with a pungent odor and is highly soluble in water, forming hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen chloride is widely used in various industries, such as in the production of PVC plastic, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

Hydrogen chloride can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid with a reducing agent, such as zinc or iron:

2HCl + Zn → ZnCl2 + H2

In the industrial production of hydrogen chloride, it is produced by the reaction of chlorine gas with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst, such as activated carbon or platinum:

H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl

Hydrogen chloride is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns and respiratory irritation. It should be handled with care and proper safety precautions should be taken when working with it

 

Hydrogen chloride (marine-acid gas) exists as a gas at room temperature. It dissolves in water to form hydrochloric acid. It occurs in traces in the air as industrial by-product and is considered as air pollutant; but it can be easily washed down as acid rain since it is very

soluble in water.

 

It is true that hydrogen chloride exists as a gas at room temperature and is highly soluble in water, forming hydrochloric acid. Hydrogen chloride can be found in small amounts in the atmosphere as a result of industrial processes and can contribute to acid rain. However, the solubility of hydrogen chloride in water also means that it can be easily washed down and diluted in the environment, reducing its impact. It is important to properly regulate industrial processes to minimize the release of hydrogen chloride into the environment and prevent its harmful effects on human health and the environment

 

LABORATORY PREPARATION OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of hydrochloric acid (HCl) with a reducing agent, such as zinc or iron:

  1. Place hydrochloric acid in a round-bottomed flask.
  2. Add a small amount of zinc or iron filings to the hydrochloric acid.
  3. Heat the mixture gently under reflux (with a condenser on top of the flask) to initiate the reaction.

2HCl + Zn → ZnCl2 + H2

  1. Collect the hydrogen gas by upward displacement of air in a gas jar. Since hydrogen is lighter than air, it will rise and collect at the top of the jar.
  2. Bubble the hydrogen gas through water to dissolve the hydrogen chloride and form hydrochloric acid.

H2 + Cl2 → 2HCl

  1. Hydrogen chloride gas is highly corrosive and should be handled with care in a well-ventilated laboratory with proper safety equipment.

It should be noted that the preparation of hydrogen chloride gas in the laboratory should only be performed by experienced chemists and with proper safety precautions

The gas is prepared by the action of hot concentrated H2SO4 on any soluble chloride. Example 2NaCl(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HCl(g) Note: NaHSO4 is first formed at a lower temperature and later at higher temperature HCl gas is formed. The gas is dried by passing it through concentrated H2SO4 in another flask and collected.

 

Hydrogen chloride gas can also be prepared by the reaction of hot concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with a soluble chloride, such as sodium chloride (NaCl). The reaction proceeds in two steps, with sodium bisulfate (NaHSO4) being formed first at a lower temperature, followed by the formation of hydrogen chloride gas at a higher temperature:

2NaCl(s) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2HCl(g)

To collect the hydrogen chloride gas, it can be dried by passing it through concentrated sulfuric acid in another flask and then collected. It is important to handle hydrogen chloride gas with care due to its highly corrosive and toxic nature, and proper safety precautions should be taken when working with it.
