Question:

Bromine is obtained from brine wells. The process involves treating water containing bromide ion with Cl2 and extracting the Br2 from the solution using an organic solvent. Write a balanced equation for the reaction of Cl2 and Br. What are the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction? Using the table of standard reduction potentials (Appendix M), verify that this is a product-favored reaction at equilibrium.
