Question

For each of the halides listed, choose one of the following four general synthetic routes as the most appropriate (workable yet simple) method of synthesis of the anhydrous halide: Method 1, anhydrous salt results from evaporating the reaction mixture of the metal hydroxide plus the hydrohalic acid; Method 2, the salt precipitates in anhydrous form upon mixing solutions containing the cation and the anion; Method 3, the hydrated halide can be dehydrated by an appropriate chemical dehydrating agent; Method 4 , a strictly anhydrous method of synthesis (halogen exchange or redox) is required. Halides: a. $\mathrm{CF}_4$; b. AgI; c. KF; d. $\mathrm{SiCl}_4$; e. $\mathrm{BiCl}_3$; f. $\mathrm{SiI}_4$ : g. AuI; h. $\mathrm{RbBr}$; i. $\mathrm{NiCl}_2$; j. $\mathrm{BiBr}_3$; k. $\mathrm{LaF}_3$; I. $\mathrm{SnCl}_2$; m. $\mathrm{PrCl}_3$ : n. $\mathrm{WF}_6$.
