Question

Write a balanced equation for the reaction of chlorine gas with fluorine gas. express your answer as a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.

Answer 1

The  balanced  equation  for  reaction  of  chlorine  gas  with   fluorine  gas  is  written  as  follows

Cl2(g)   +   3  F2(g)  =  2ClF3(g)

chlorine  react  with  flourine   to  form  CIF3  .    The  phases  of  reactant  and  product  is  the  gas    phase

Answer 2

Explanation:

A balanced equation is defined as the equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, $Cl_{2}(g) + F_{2}(g) \rightarrow ClF_{3}(g)$

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

• Cl = 2

• F = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

• Cl = 1

• F = 3

So, in order to balance this equation we will multiply $ClF_{3}$ by 2 on the product side and multiply $F_{2}$ by 3 on the reactant side.

Hence, the balanced reaction equation will be as follows.

         $Cl_{2}(g) + 3F_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2ClF_{3}(g)$
