The  balanced  equation  for  reaction  of  chlorine  gas  with   fluorine  gas  is  written  as  follows

Cl2(g)   +   3  F2(g)  =  2ClF3(g)

chlorine  react  with  flourine   to  form  CIF3  .    The  phases  of  reactant  and  product  is  the  gas    phase

Explanation:

A balanced equation is defined as the equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.

For example, [tex]Cl_{2}(g) + F_{2}(g) \rightarrow ClF_{3}(g)[/tex]

Number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.

  • Cl = 2
  • F = 2

Number of atoms on product side are as follows.

  • Cl = 1
  • F = 3

So, in order to balance this equation we will multiply [tex]ClF_{3}[/tex] by 2 on the product side and multiply [tex]F_{2}[/tex] by 3 on the reactant side.

Hence, the balanced reaction equation will be as follows.

         [tex]Cl_{2}(g) + 3F_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2ClF_{3}(g)[/tex]
