Question 8 (4 points) In an experiment, we mixed a halogen with a halide. The halogen is a diatomic molecule, with a preference for the solvent, hexane. The halide is a single anion, with a preference for the solvent, water. When we mix a halogen, a halide (in aqueous solution), and hexane together, we can determine whether a reaction occurred or not by observing the hexane layer. In order to do this, we establish a color chart by mixing each halogen with hexane and note the color that is present. All halides are colorless and in aqueous solution to begin with. In hexane: A? is blue B? is green C? is red D2 is yellow 1) When A? is mixed with C, the hexane layer appears to be blue. Did a reaction occur? 2) When A? is mixed with D, the hexane layer appears to be yellow. Did a reaction occur? (yes or no) 3) When X? reacts with Y" (different set) a reaction does occur. Write the balanced net ionic equation for this reaction. A A
