Question

What happens when Cl2 gas is passed through aqueous solution of KBr ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When chlorine gas is passed through potassium bromide solution, potassium chloride and bromine are formed. ... In the solution of K-Br (Potassium Bromide) we-pass chlorine gas(Cl2), then chlorine will displace Bromine-from K-Br and form potassium chloride (KCl) and librate Bromine, which orange color to the solution

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Here, Br is less electronegative than chlorine and Cl is better oxidising agent than Br, so, the following reaction takes place:

 2KBr + Cl₂ ⇒ 2KCl + Br₂
