Reactions the Bromine
*
Reactions through water Bromine reacts with water to develop hypobromite, OBr-. The pH that the solution determines the position of the equilibrium. Br2(l) + H2O(l)OBr-(aq) + 2H+(aq) + Br-(aq)
*
Reactions with air Bromine is not reactive towards oxygen or nitrogen however it will react ozone in ~ -78°C to type the rough compound bromine(IV) oxide. Br2(l) + 2O3(g)O2(g) + 2BrO2(s)
*
Reactions with halogens Bromine reacts through chlorine in the gas phase to type the interhalogen species BrF. The product is complicated to acquire pure due to the fact that BrF disproportionates in ~ room temperature to type bromine, Br2, and also BrF3 and also BrF5. Br2(g) + F2(g)2BrF(g) 3BrF(g) + Br2(l)BrF3(l) 5BrF(g) + 2Br2(l)BrF5(l) Under more forceful conditions, overabundance fluorine reacts with bromine in ~ 150°C to kind the interhalogen species BrF5. Br2(l) + 5F2(g)2BrF5(l) Chlorine reacts through bromine in the gas step to kind the unstable interhalogen species bromine(I) chloride, ClBr. Cl2(g) + Br2(g)2ClBr(l) Bromine reacts through iodine in ~ room temperature to type the interhalogen types bromine(I) iodide, BrI. Br2(l) + I2(s)2IBr(s)
*
Reactions with bases Bromine reacts with hot aqueous alkali to create bromate.
