Halogen-Halide displacement reactions Flashcards
A solution of each halogen is added to aqueous solutions of the other halides, the results of the displacement reactions show the reactivity of the halogens.
Solution of Cl in water, what is the colour of the solution
Pale green
Solution of Br in water, what is the colour of the solution
Orange
Solution of l in water, what is the colour of the solution
Brown
Solution of Cl in cyclohexane, what is the colour of the top layer of the solution
Pale green
Solution of Br in cyclohexane, what is the colour of the top layer of the solution
Orange
Solution of I in cyclohexane, what is the colour of the top layer of the solution
Violet
Cl2 (aq) in Br- (aq) solution
colour change
Plae green to Orange colour, because of Br2 formation
Cl2 (aq) + 2Br- (aq) —> 2Cl- (aq) + Br2 (aq)
Cl2 (aq) in I- (aq) solution
Pale green to violet colour, because of I2 formation
Cl2(aq) + 2I- (aq) —> 2Cl- (aq) + I2 (aq)
Br2 (aq) in Cl- (aq) solution
no reaction
Br2 (aq) in I- (aq) solution
orange to violet colour, because of I2 formation
Br2 (aq) + 2I- (aq) —> 2Br- (aq) + I2 (aq)
I2 (aq) in Cl- (aq) solution
no reaction
