State the type of reaction and balance the equation.
The given reaction is a displacement reaction.
Displacement reaction - A reaction in which a more active element displaces a less active element from its solution, called displacement reaction.
Balancing the chemical equation -
Following the traditional method, the reaction can be balanced as follows:
Equation: | |
Reactant Side | Product Side |
2 chlorine atoms | 1 chlorine atoms |
1 Potassium atom | 1 Potassium atom |
1 Bromine atom | 2 Bromine atom |
Therefore Balance equation is
