Question

Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction
between Br ^- (aq) and Cl₂(aq).

Expert Solution

Step 1

Displacement reaction is the condition in which one atom is replaced by another atom in a molecule. For example; During the reaction of zinc and copper chloride, zinc replaces copper and forms zinc chloride.

$Z n + C u C l_{2} \to Z n C l_{2} + C u$

When sodium halide (NaX) reacts with another halogen gas (Y₂), there is formation of NaY and release of X₂ depending upon the displacing ability of the Y^- over X^-.

$2 N a X (a q) + Y_{2} (a q) \to 2 N a Y (a q) + X_{2} (a q)$
