This looks very much like the first part of a chemical equation: the description of the process of a chemical reaction. The conventional rules for chemical equations are that - just like mathematical/algebraic equations - the two sides must match. KBr is Potassium Bromide; I2 is iodine, which in its natural state consists of two atoms joined together, and so is written with the subscript '2'. As one molecule of iodine has two atoms, two molecules of potassium bromide must be placed in the equation to make the sides match.

If these two substances are made to react (to my recollection, since bromine is more reactive than iodine this reaction would not occur unless catalyzed in some way, say by heat) then the iodine and bromide would change places, leaving potassium iodide and bromine (a brown, very pongy gas at room temperature); so the whole equation would be:

2 KBr + I2 -> 2 KI + Br2

When the following equation is balanced using the smallest possible integers what is the number in front of the underlined substance in each case Br2 Kl-l2 KBr?

The balanced equation is: Br2 + 2Kl -> 2KBr + I2. This means there is a 2 in front of the underlined substance, KI.

What reaction is Br2 plus 2KI equals 2KBr plus I2?

This is a double displacement reaction where bromine (Br2) reacts with potassium iodide (KI) to form potassium bromide (KBr) and iodine (I2) by exchanging ions. The bromine displaces the iodine from potassium iodide to form potassium bromide and free iodine.


Is 2K plus Br2 and 2KBr balanced?

The equation 2K + Br2 -> 2KBr is balanced as there are equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the reaction.


Potassium iodide reacts with bromine forming potassium bromide plus iodine?

The reaction between potassium iodide and bromine produces potassium bromide and iodine. This is a redox reaction where bromine gets reduced to bromide ions, while iodide ions get oxidized to form elemental iodine. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is 2 KI + Br2 → 2 KBr + I2.

What is the equation of potassium bromide with aqueous iodine?

The equation for the reaction of potassium bromide with aqueous iodine is: 2KBr (aq) + I2 (aq) → 2KI (aq) + Br2 (aq) This reaction demonstrates a redox reaction where bromide ions are oxidized to bromine, and iodine is reduced to iodide.


What is Potassium iodide bromine reaction?

well i don't really know the word chemical equation, but the balanced form is:2KI(aq) + Br(aq) --> I2(s) + 2KBr(aq)so if you just figure out the word form of the elements in the equation you'll figure it out..
