Question

When chlorine gas is passed through potassium bromide solution, potassium chloride and bromine are formed. Which is a more reactive non-metal: bromine or chlorine? Give reasons for your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer:

pottasiumbromide is more reactive then others

Answer 2

Explanation:

The chlorine is more reactive than the bromine because the electronegativity of chlorine is more than that of bromine.

When chlorine water is added to potassium bromide solution, chlorine will displace the bromine from the salt solution. ... The bromide ions will be OXIDISED (lose electrons) to become bromine. The bromine will turn the solution orange.
