![### Formation of Bromine Monochloride (BrCl)
#### Chemical Equation
The compound BrCl can be formed by combining Br₂ and Cl₂. This can be represented at the atomic level by a chemical equation:
\[ \text{Br}_2 + \text{Cl}_2 \longrightarrow 2\text{BrCl} \]
#### Calculation Based on the Law of Conservation of Mass
According to the law of conservation of mass, if 29.6 grams of Br₂ and 13.1 grams of Cl₂ combine to form BrCl, how many grams of BrCl must form?
\[ \text{grams BrCl} \]
(Answer box provided for inputting the answer.)
### Law of Conservation of Mass
The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. Therefore, the mass of the reactants (Br₂ and Cl₂) must equal the mass of the products (BrCl).
### Example Calculation
Given:
- Mass of Br₂: 29.6 grams
- Mass of Cl₂: 13.1 grams
To find:
- Mass of BrCl produced?
\[ \text{Mass of BrCl} = \text{Mass of Br}_2 + \text{Mass of Cl}_2 \]
\[ \text{Mass of BrCl} = 29.6 \text{ grams} + 13.1 \text{ grams} = 42.7 \text{ grams} \]](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a527ffdc-16df-4a1f-9953-96956a75d05e/bcd56486-bd7c-44ee-9f88-888e2db9a610/ba9auo_thumbnail.png)
