This question is about elements in Group 7 of the periodic table.
Table 1 shows the melting points and boiling points of chlorine, bromine, and iodine.
| Element | Melting point in °C | Boiling point in °C |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | -101 | -35 |
| Bromine | -7 | 59 |
| Iodine | 114 | 184 |
Using Table 1, determine the state of iodine at 150 °C.
Balance the equation for the reaction between aluminium and iodine: 2Al+‾I2→2AlI32\text{Al} + \underline{\quad}\text{I}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{AlI}_32Al+I2→2AlI3
Calculate the relative formula mass (MrM_rMr) of aluminium iodide, AlI3\text{AlI}_3AlI3. Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): Al=27\text{Al} = 27Al=27, I=127\text{I} = 127I=127.
