Umar Farooq Assignment 1.2

This document provides instructions for Coursework #2 in chemistry. It includes 5 questions covering topics like the periodic table, properties of different elements, and reactivity of halogens. Students are advised to show their working and use appropriate units. The periodic table is provided for reference. Questions involve identifying metals and non-metals, comparing properties of potassium and vanadium, explaining trends in metallic character, and designing an experiment to show the displacement of iodide by chlorine. Up to 50 marks are available for answering all questions correctly.

5 More reactive halogen (higher in the group) can displace less reactive halogen from
aqueous solution of their halides ions (halide ion: negatively charged ion of halogen).
Plan an experiment to show that chlorine is more reactive and it can displace iodide ions
from the aqueous solution.
[6+2]

taking place between chlorine and aqueous sodium iodide.
You are provided with:
