Complete the table by estimating bromine’s boiling point and the density of liquid chlorine at its boiling point.

(a(ii))[1]

Use the information in the table to infer the colour of astatine.

(b)[1]

Explain why chlorine is added to water during treatment.

(c(i))[1]

Construct the ionic equation for the reaction.

(c(ii))[1]

Explain why iodine does not react with potassium chloride.

(d)[2]

Hydrated nickel(II) chloride has the formula $\text{NiCl}_2\cdot x\text{H}_2\text{O}$. Its relative formula mass is 238. Calculate the value of $x$ in this formula. [The relative atomic mass of nickel, Ni, is 59]
