Identify the missing product in this ionic equation between bromide ions and chlorine. Give the chemical symbol for the missing product. 2Br^-+Cl_(2)arrow 2Cl^-+ldots 2 Enter your answer

## Step1:In this problem, we're asked to identify the missing product in the reaction between bromide ions and chlorine. To do this we need to balance the chemical equation, specifically by observing on which one will synchronise in balancing.## Step2:Given the reactants, the bromide ions will react with the molecular chlorine to facilitate an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction.## Step3:The molecular chlorine behaves as an oxidising agent and will reduce to chlorine ions. When chlorine gets reduced, the bromide ions who initially started as a reducing agent, get oxidised. Looking at the trends in electronegativity, the bromide ions( ) will get oxidized to bromine(` `).
