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.
