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

Step-by-step 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)`

Answer 2

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
