Some reactions of the halide ions

What this topic asks you to be able to do

  • outline how strongly each halide ion acts as a reducing agent, relative to the others
  • describe and account for what happens when halide ions are treated first with aqueous silver ions and then with aqueous ammonia (the making and formula of the [Ag(NH3)2]+ complex are not needed), and when they are treated with concentrated sulfuric acid, including balanced equations
