can someone please explain how I get to an answer please

Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Chlorine gas replaces the bromine in  potassium bromide to form potassium chloride and bromine liquid is released.

The equation for the reaction is:

Cl2 (g) + 2KBr (s) = KCl  (s) + Br2 (l).

This reaction occurs because chlorine is more reactive then bromine.
