Question

Please help me with chemistry!

Liquid bromine is shaken with a solution of sodium iodine.

I need a balanced equation of this single replacement reaction. Additionally, how do I set this up in the first place? An explaination is highly recommended!

Thank you and have a wonderful day!​

Answer 1

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

Explanation:

Reacting bromide (Br₂) with sodium iodine (NaI) will produce sodium bromide (NaBr) and iodine (I₂).

To balance the equation the number of atoms of each element entering the  reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

where:

l - liquid

s - solid

This is a single replacement reaction because an element in a compound is replaced by another element. Generally a single replacement reaction is represented as: A + BC → AC + B
