A Carbon iodide reacts with potassium bromide to form potassium carbon iodide and bromine.
B Bromine gas reacts with a solution of potassium chloride to form potassium bromide and chlorine gas.
C Potassium bromine gas reacts with liquid chlorine to form potassium chloride in solution and bromine gas.
D Chlorine gas reacts with potassium bromide to form potassium chloride in solution and liquid bromine.

Answer 1

Chlorine gas reacts with potassium bromide to form potassium chloride in solution and liquid bromine.

Answer 2

The statement that describes the chemical reaction is D chlorine gas reacts with potassium bromide to form potassium chloride in solution and liquid bromide. The symbol "Cl" represents chlorine. The symbols in the brackets show the physical state of the substance, (g) is gaseous, (s) is solid, (aq) is aqueous and (l) is liquid.
