Question
A student observes that the solution containing Br₂ is reddish, a solution of Cl₂ is faintly yellow-green, and
a solution of 12 is faintly violet. The student mixes a cyclohexane solution containing Br₂ with a halide
solution containing I. After mixing, the student observes that the cyclohexane layer is faintly violet. What
species is present in the halogen layer? Did a reaction occur?
Select one:
I₂, no reaction
O Br. reaction occurred
I2, reaction occurred.
Br, no reaction
I, reaction occurred
Br₂, no reaction
I, no reaction
Br₂, reaction occurred
