Question

Balancing the following chemical equation, and determine its reaction type.

Answer 1

Answer:

$2LiCl +Br_2 \rightarrow 2LiBr +Cl_2$

Single displacement reaction.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, by firstly rearranging the chemical reaction as shown below:

$LiCl +Br_2 \rightarrow LiBr +Cl_2$

It is also necessary to balance it at follows:

$2LiCl +Br_2 \rightarrow 2LiBr +Cl_2$

Thus, since bromine and chlorine are being exchanged as a result of the atoms rearrangement, we infer this is a single displacement reaction.

Best regards!
