do you know somy?

OpenStudy (13ziar):

OpenStudy (13ziar):

?

OpenStudy (somy):

never seen chlorine react with bromine unless if you are talking about displacement reactions, but for that ur question is not full

OpenStudy (13ziar):

ok it is about displacement

OpenStudy (13ziar):

oh wait

OpenStudy (13ziar):

chlorine + potassium bromide-->bromine + potassium chloride

OpenStudy (13ziar):

its 4 this

OpenStudy (13ziar):

????????

OpenStudy (somy):

there will be reaction in chlorine + potassium bromide but there will be no reaction bromine + potassium chloride

OpenStudy (somy):

because chlorine is more reactive than bromine and so it will displace bromine from potassium bromide and the resulting compound will be potassium chloride second reaction will not happen because bromine is less reactive so it cannot displace Cl from KCl, thus, you end up with the same product = KCl in both cases

OpenStudy (13ziar):

what will the colours be?

OpenStudy (somy):

colorless when dissolved in water as far as i recall

OpenStudy (13ziar):

ok thanks

OpenStudy (somy):
