Group 7 displacement reactions, also known as halogen displacement reactions, involve an element being kicked out of a compound it's in by a more reactive element.
The key parts of a displacement reaction are that something's being kicked out and something else will take its place.
The element doing the displacing must be more reactive than the element being displaced.
Group 7 elements, which include fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine, have different reactivities, with fluorine being the most reactive and iodine being the least reactive.
The other product formed when potassium bromide and chlorine react is potassium chloride and bromine.
Chlorine, being more reactive, will displace the bromide from the compound, resulting in potassium chloride plus bromine.
Between potassium iodide and bromine, bromine is more reactive and will displace the iodide, resulting in potassium bromide and iodine bromide.
Fluorine, being more reactive, will displace the bromide from the compound, resulting in sodium fluoride and bromine.
When chlorine and potassium iodide react, they produce potassium chloride and one other product.
A more reactive halogen can displace a less reactive halogen, but a less reactive one wouldn't be able to displace a more reactive one.
To determine whether a displacement reaction can occur, it's important to decide if the one of the halogens is more reactive than another.
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine, so it can displace chlorine.
Chlorine can displace bromine or iodine because it's more reactive than them, but it couldn't displace fluorine.
Bromine can only displace iodine, not the others because it's less reactive than them.
Iodine, being the least reactive, can't displace any of the other halogens.
To displace iodine, a more reactive element is needed.
The fluoride in sodium fluoride will be colorless, but the bromine because it's on its own, will appear brown.
The products are going to appear gray, so the color change overall is from yellow to gray.
The group 7 element that was present in the compound can cause the products to change from green to gray.
Potassium iodide, because it's a compound, will be colorless.
In the last reaction, the green color at the beginning is coming from the chlorine on its own, which is going gray, so the group 7 element causing the gray color is iodine.
The fluoride in potassium fluoride will be colorless, but the iodine will appear gray as normal.
Chlorine, when added to a solution of a compound of another group seven element, can cause the color to change from green to gray.
The reactants overall will look yellow.
Sodium bromide, because the bromine is part of a compound, will be colorless.
Sodium bromide and chlorine are both green, so the color change in this reaction is from green to brown.
Sodium bromide plus fluorine produces sodium fluoride plus bromine.
The colors of the different compounds and elements need to be considered when identifying the color change in a reaction.
The products are going to appear brown or orange, so the color change overall is from yellow to brown.
Fluorine, because it's on its own, will appear its normal yellow color.
Fluorine can displace chlorine because it is more reactive than chlorine.
Fluorine is more reactive than bromine, so it can displace bromine.
Chlorine can displace fluorine because it is more reactive than fluorine.
Fluorine is more reactive than chlorine, so it can displace chlorine.
Iodine can be displaced by bromine because bromine is more reactive than iodine.
Iodine is less reactive than chlorine, so chlorine can displace iodine.
Chlorine can displace iodine because it is more reactive than iodine.
