Group VII properties — practice question

This question concerns bromine and compounds containing bromine.
(a)[4]

Using the kinetic particle model, describe the arrangement and motion of the molecules in: • liquid bromine • bromine gas

(b)[1]

Describe the change in the volume of the bromine gas as temperature changes.

(c(i))[2]

Complete the word equation to show which halogen and halide compound react to produce bromine and potassium chloride. [BLANK] + [BLANK] → bromine + potassium chloride

(c(ii))[1]

Explain, using halogen reactivity, why aqueous bromine does not react with aqueous potassium chloride.

(d(i))[2]

Complete the chemical equation for this reaction. [BLANK] + $\text{H}_2\text{S}$ → [BLANK]$\text{HBr}$ + $\text{S}$

(d(ii))[1]

Explain how the diagram indicates that the reaction is exothermic.

(e)[2]

Describe a test used to identify bromide ions. test observations
