Question

Explain neutrilization reaction of BrF3?

Answer 1

Answer:

Bromine trifluoride (BrF3) has a liquid range similar to water (Mp = 8.8 °C and Bp = 127 °C), and like water it auto ionizes, (10.5.1).

BrF3→BrF+2+BrF−4(10.5.1)

The products, like those of water’s self-ionization, are an acid (BrF2+) and a base (BrF4-). However, unlike water, BrF3 reacts with fluoride acids and bases not proton acids and bases. Thus, in BrF3 a base is a salt that provides F-, i.e., potassium fluoride (KF) is a base in BrF3 solution in the same manner as potassium hydroxide (KOH) is a base in water. The product from the reaction of a fluoride donor salt with BrF3 is the formation of the conjugate base, BrF4-, (10.5.2).
