Fill in Table 1.1 to show the colour of chlorine, bromine and iodine at $293\text{ K}$.
State the trend in volatility of the halogens chlorine, bromine and iodine. Explain your answer.
Construct an ionic equation for the reaction of bromine with sodium iodide.
State the role of bromine in the reaction. Explain your answer.
Write an equation to describe the acid-base reaction that occurs when concentrated sulfuric acid reacts with sodium bromide, $\text{NaBr}$.
Deduce which sodium halide, $\text{NaCl}$, $\text{NaBr}$ or $\text{NaI}$, produces the largest percentage yield of hydrogen halide when concentrated sulfuric acid is added. Explain your answer by considering the relative reactivity of the halide ions as reducing agents.
