Reaction, 2Br−(aq)+Cl2(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+Br2(aq) is used for commercial preparation of bromine from its salts. Suppose we have 50 mL of a 0.06 M solution of NaBr. What volume of a 0.05 M solution of Cl2 is needed to react completely with the Br−?

Solution
2Br−(aq)+Cl2(aq)→2Cl−(aq)+Br2(aq) M1V1(Br−)n1=M2V2(Cl2)n2 where, n1 and n2 are corresponding number of moles. 0.06×502=0.05×V21 ∴V2=30mL
