Two groups of students (Group A and Group B) carried out a project* on the chemistry of some group 7 elements (the halogens) and their compounds.
* Adapted from J Derek Woollins, (2009), Inorganic Experiments and Open University, (2008), Exploring the Molecular World.
In the first part of the project, the two groups had a sample of iodine monochloride (a corrosive brown liquid) prepared for them by their teacher using the following reaction.
\[{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(s)}} + {\text{C}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(g)}} \to {\text{2ICl(l)}}\]
The following data were recorded.
The students reacted ICl(l) with CsBr(s) to form a yellow solid, \({\text{CsIC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(s)}}\), as one of the products. \({\text{CsIC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(s)}}\) has been found to produce very pure CsCl(s) which is used in cancer treatment.
To confirm the composition of the yellow solid, Group A determined the amount of iodine in 0.2015 g of \({\text{CsIC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(s)}}\) by titrating it with \({\text{0.0500 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{(aq)}}\). The following data were recorded for the titration.

Although the molar masses of ICl and \({\rm{B}}{{\rm{r}}_2}\) are very similar, the boiling point of ICl is 97.4 °C and that of \({\rm{B}}{{\rm{r}}_2}\) is 58.8 °C. Explain the difference in these boiling points in terms of the intermolecular forces present in each liquid.
(i) Calculate the percentage of iodine by mass in \({\text{CsIC}}{{\text{l}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{(s)}}\), correct to three significant figures.
(ii) State the volume, in \({\text{c}}{{\text{m}}^{\text{3}}}\), of \({\text{0.0500 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{(aq)}}\) used in the titration.
(iii) Determine the amount, in mol, of \({\text{0.0500 mol}}\,{\text{d}}{{\text{m}}^{ - 3}}{\text{ N}}{{\text{a}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{S}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{(aq)}}\) added in the titration.
