| Question: | 1g Chlorine (Cl) + 1g Bromine (Br) |
| Solution: | No single, simple reaction product. |
| Chemical Equation: | No single reaction. Cl₂ + Br₂ ⇌ ClBr (equilibrium) |
| Explanation: | Mixing 1g of chlorine (Cl₂) and 1g of bromine (Br₂) won't produce a single, easily defined product. 🧪 Instead, you'll get an equilibrium mixture containing mainly unreacted Cl₂ and Br₂, with a small amount of interhalogen compound ClBr (chlorine monobromide). 🤔 The reaction is reversible and the equilibrium constant favors the reactants. To favor ClBr formation, you'd need to control temperature and pressure, potentially using photocatalysis ☀️ or other advanced techniques. A PhD-level experiment might involve measuring the equilibrium constant at different temperatures to determine thermodynamic parameters (ΔH, ΔS) of the reaction. 🔬 |
