The Group 7 element bromine was discovered by Balard in 1826. Bromine gets its
name from the Greek bromos meaning stench.
Bromine consists of a mixture of two isotopes, 79Br and 81Br.
A student added an aqueous solution of sodium iodide to a solution of bromine.
The colour turned from orange to a deep brown.
The student then added an aqueous solution of sodium chloride to a solution of
bromine.
The orange colour was unchanged.

A student read about possible health problems arising from the use of common salt
added to different foods. The student decided to compare the salt content of different
foods using simple test-tube tests to test the chloride content.
Plan a simple qualitative experiment to compare the quantity of chloride ions in
different foods. Comment on the validity of claiming that the chloride content is the
same as the salt content.

The student had added the exact amount of calcium required to react with the
hydrochloric acid used. After carrying out the experiment, the student accidentally
added some more calcium. The student was surprised that the extra calcium still
reacted.
Explain this observation. Include an equation in your answer.

In this question one mark is available for the quality of spelling, punctuation and
grammar.
Chlorine gas was bubbled through an aqueous solution of bromide ions and also
through an aqueous solution of iodide ions. An organic solvent was then added and
each mixture was shaken.
State what you would see in each case.
Write equations for any chemical reactions that take place.
State and explain the trend in reactivity shown by these observations.

Chlorine is used in the production of safe drinking water throughout the world.
Drinking water is purified by addition of small amounts of chlorine. The reaction that
takes place can be represented by the equation below.
Cl2(g) + H2O(l)
