Are halogens reducing agents or oxidising agents?
Oxidising agents and they get reduced.
1 of 12
What happens to the oxidising ability as we go down the group?
Decreases.
2 of 12
What happens when halogens react with metal halides?
The halide is displaced by a more reactive halogen (displacement reaction)

What is the colour of fluorine?
Pale Yellow.

Reducing.
8 of 12
What happens to the reducing power of halide ions as we go down the periodic table?
Increases.

What is the equation for sodium chloride reacting with sulfuric acid?
NaCl + H2SO4 --> NaHSO4 + HCl
10 of 12
Why is the reaction of sodium chloride with sulfuric acid not a redox reaction?
Because no oxidation state has changed as the chloride ion is too weak to reduce sulfur. It is an acid-base reaction.

What is seen when NaCl reacts with H2SO4?
Steamy fumes of HCl.
