Answer:

Br_2

Explanation:

The compound X_2 is Br_2.

The reaction included are:

Br_2+NaCl--> No\ reaction  (because  bromine is less reactive than chlorine)

But , because of hexane the solution get dilute and its color changes to orange.

Now, NaI is added and we know Br is more reactive than I.

Therefore it replace it.

Reaction: Br_2+NaI-->NaBr+I_2

Purple color develop due to formation of Iodine.
