Reaction between cl and br
Accepted Answer
Chlorine (Cl) is more reactive than bromine (Br) due to its smaller atomic size and higher electronegativity. In a reaction between chlorine and bromine, chlorine would typically displace bromine from its compounds. For instance, if chlorine gas is bubbled through a solution of sodium bromide, chlorine would react with bromide ions to form chlorine ions and elemental bromine. The reaction can be represented as:
Cl2(g) + 2NaBr(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + Br2(l)
