  • Chlorine Gas + Lithium Bromide Reaction: Balanced Equation & Explanation
    The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of chlorine gas with solid lithium bromide to produce chloride solution and liquid bromine is:

    Cl₂(g) + 2LiBr(s) → 2LiCl(aq) + Br₂(l)

    Here's a breakdown of the equation:

    * Cl₂(g): Chlorine gas, in its diatomic form.

    * LiBr(s): Solid lithium bromide.

    * LiCl(aq): Aqueous lithium chloride (dissolved in water, forming a solution).

    * Br₂(l): Liquid bromine.

    This reaction is an example of a single displacement reaction, where a more reactive element (chlorine) displaces a less reactive element (bromine) from its compound.
