Answer:

pH is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale usually ranges from 0 to 14. Aqueous solutions at 25°C with a pH less than 7 are acidic, while those with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. A pH level of 7.0 at 25°C is defined as "neutral" because the concentration of H3O+ equals the concentration of OH− in pure water. On the other hand, electrical conductivity is a non-specific measurement of the concentration of both positively and negatively charged ions within a sample. So the short answer to the question is as follows, the presence of any hydrogen ions present in a substance will impact the pH level and most probably influence conductivity levels. However, hydrogen ions make up only a small part of the ion concentration measured by a conductivity meter.

Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)

when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L

first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation.

molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)

calculations:

$6.25 g Na ( \frac{1 mol Na}{23.0 g} ) ( \frac{1 mol Cl_2}{2 mol Na} ) ( \frac{22.4 L}{1 mol} )= 3.04 L$

A physical property of an element is a property of an element that can observed or measured without changing the chemical nature of the element.

A chemical property of an element is a property of an element that can only be observed or measure when the chemical property of the element is altered or changed.

Based on this;
The boiling point of bromine is a physical property of bromine.
The high reactivity of bromine with many elements is a chemical property of bromine.
