Chlorine burns with white flame in chlorineFor Question 1, the element for liquid chloride was either phosphorus or silicon. For the coloured flame, it was sodium since it burns with a yellow flame in Cl2. For observations it could have been: Al glows, white solid formed/appears, Cl2 colour fades away/disappears (any 2) AlCl3 reacts with water to form Al2O3 and HCl, only Na dissolves, both Al and Si react. pH for Na was 7/neutral, for Al and Si the range of pH was 1-4 (any value in the given range) though i personally wrote 3 for Al and 2 for Si.
