Question

What is meant by 'emulgent is formed in situ'?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

When a reagent is formed in situ, this means that instead of adding the reagent directly, it is produced in the reaction mixture. Pyridinium tribromide exists in equilibrium with pyridinium hydrobromide and bromine, and thus we will use it to generate the bromine needed for our reaction.
