    What will happen when chlorine is passed through an aqueous solution of potassium bromide?

    Answer:

                    The solution will acquire an orange colour due to the vapours of bromine that are evolved. Actually, chlorine is a stronger oxidising agent than bromine and oxidizes \[B{{r}^{-}}\] ions (in KBr) to Br2 and itself is reduced to \[C{{l}^{-}}\] ions.     \[2KBr+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{\,}2KCl\,+B{{r}_{2}}\]
