Balance the following chemical reactions, determine the type of reaction and whether each is a redox reaction: Cl2 + NaBr → Br2 + NaCl

Answer 1

Cl₂ + 2NaBr ==> Br₂ + 2NaCl ... balanced equation

Type of reaction is single displacement and this is also a redox reaction because Cl goes from oxidation of zero on the left side of the reaction to 1- on the right side, and Br goes from 11 on the left side to zero on the right side. Cl2 has been reduced and Br has been oxidized.
