Question 8.1
Write the balanced chemical equation for the following and identify the type of reaction:

Potassium bromide (aq) + Barium iodide (aq) $\to$ Potassium iodide (aq) + Barium bromide(s)

Answer 1

Below is the balanced chemical equation for the given chemical reaction:

$2\text{KBr(aq)}+{\text{BaI}}_2\text{(aq)}\to \text{2KI(aq)}+{\text{BaBr}}_2\text{(s)}$

It is a double displacement reaction as it involves exchange of ions between the reactants.
