Q.
Bromine is prepared commercially by the reaction: 2Br(aq)−+Cl2(aq)→2Cl(aq)−+Br2(aq) Suppose we have 50.0mL of 0.060M solution of NaBr. What volume of 0.05M solution of Cl2 is needed to react completely with the Br− ?

Solution:
50mL of 0.060MNaBr contain NaBr =10000.060×50mol=0.003mol 2mol of Br− react with Cl2=1mol ∴0.003mol of Br−will react with Cl2=21×0.003 =0.0015mol 0.05molCl2 solution are present in 1000mL of Cl2solution ∴0.0015mol of Cl2 will be present in Cl2 solution =0.051000×0.0015=30mL
