Answer:

Potassium iodide

Explanation:

The white solid introduced into the solution is potassium bromide. This is an ionic solid thus it quickly dissolves in water to yield a colorless solution.

When chlorine is added to this solution, the iodine is displaced since chlorine is above iodine in the electrochemical series.

When mixed with hexane, the color of the solution changes to purple.

ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Inhibitor

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are compounds that can interact with the enzyme but don't trigger any biological response. This is what sulfanilamide does. When the enzyme is bound to sulfanilamide, it stops being able to bind PABA, its normal substrate, and so it cannot perform its biological action. In consequence, the entire biosynthetic pathway for folic acid is stopped.

If f is a reactive nonmetal, which other element or elements shown here do you expect to also be a reactive nonmetal?
vichka [17]
You did not include the list but F is fluorine. The first halogen.

So, you can expect that the other members of the same group (halogens, column 17 of the periodic table) exhibit similar chemical behavior (reactivity).

So, I am sure your list contains one or more of theses elements: Cl (chlorine), Br (bromine), and I (iodine).

All of them you can expect to also be reactive non metal.
