<span>The best answer is B. ICl experiences induced dipole-induced dipole interactions. Both iodine and chlorine belongs to the same group of the periodic table. Electronegativity decreases as you go down a group therefore Cl will have a greater attraction with the bond it forms with another atom. Dipole-dipole interactions form between I and Cl. For the Br2 molecule, no dipole occurs because they are two identical atoms. Therefore we will be expecting ICl will have a higher boiling point due to higher binding energy it forms.</span>

The solution changed color because the substances are not neutral.

Chemical substances have different concentrations of the hydrogen cation, called PH.

The higher the pH, the more basic the substance, and the lower the more acidic.

Bromothymol blue is a pH indicator that changes its color according to the pH of the substance, yellow for acid, blue for basic and green for neutral.

In the case of the reactions in question, we have the release of CO2 (acid) in combustion and in cellular respiration, changing the color of bromothymol blue to yellow.
