Question 6

Chlorine gas is bubbled through an aqueous solution of potassium bromide.

Which ionic equation correctly represents the predicted reaction?

A

Cl2(g)+Br−(aq)→Cl−(aq)+Br2(aq)\text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) + \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}_2(\text{aq})Cl2​(g)+Br−(aq)→Cl−(aq)+Br2​(aq)

B

2Cl−(aq)+Br2(aq)→Cl2(g)+2Br−(aq)2\text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}_2(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{Br}^-(\text{aq})2Cl−(aq)+Br2​(aq)→Cl2​(g)+2Br−(aq)

C

Cl2(g)+2Br−(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+Br2(aq)\text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) + \text{Br}_2(\text{aq})Cl2​(g)+2Br−(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+Br2​(aq)

D

Cl2(g)+2Br−(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+2Br(aq)\text{Cl}_2(\text{g}) + 2\text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) \rightarrow 2\text{Cl}^-(\text{aq}) + 2\text{Br}(\text{aq})Cl2​(g)+2Br−(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+2Br(aq)
