Question:

(a) The reaction of CsF, I2O5 and IF5 at 435K leads to Cs2IOF5. When the amount of CsF is halved, the product is CsIOF4. Write balanced equations for the reactions. Are they redox reactions?

(b) Using data in Fig. 17.14, calculate ΔG°(298 K) for the reaction:

Comment on the fact that the reaction does not occur at 298 K.

(c) Chlorine dioxide is the major bleaching agent in the pulp industry. While some statistics for bleaching agents list ClO2, others give NaClO3 instead. Suggest reasons for this difference.
