4. Given a mixture of sodium chloride, silver chloride and ammonium chloride, describe how each component can be obtained.

  1. Sublimation

    Heat the mixture gently. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}) will sublime (change directly from solid to gas) and can be collected by deposition on a cool surface.

  2. Dissolution and Filtration

    Add water to the remaining mixture (sodium chloride and silver chloride). Sodium chloride (NaCl\text{NaCl}) is soluble in water, while silver chloride (AgCl\text{AgCl}) is insoluble. Stir the mixture to dissolve the NaCl. Filter the mixture to separate the insoluble silver chloride as a residue.

  3. Evaporation/Crystallization

    Heat the filtrate (sodium chloride solution) to evaporate the water. Sodium chloride will be left behind as a solid.

    5. Which particles conduct electricity in:

    a) Molten lead (II) bromide
    Ions (Pb2+\text{Pb}^{2+} and Br−\text{Br}^{-})

    b) Lead metal
    Delocalized electrons

    6. The information in the table below relates to the physical properties of the chlorides of certain elements.

    a) Explain why melting points of NaCl\text{NaCl} and MgCl2\text{MgCl}_2 are higher than those of SiCl4\text{SiCl}_4, PCl3\text{PCl}_3 and SCl2\text{SCl}_2 chlorides in the table above.
    NaCl\text{NaCl} and MgCl2\text{MgCl}_2 are ionic compounds with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in a giant ionic lattice structure. A large amount of energy is required to overcome these strong forces, resulting in high melting points.
    SiCl4\text{SiCl}_4, PCl3\text{PCl}_3, and SCl2\text{SCl}_2 are covalent compounds that exist as simple discrete molecules. The forces between these molecules are weak intermolecular forces (van der Waals forces). Only a small amount of energy is required to overcome these weak forces, leading to low melting points.
