Challenge

Bromine is taken out of Dead Sea brine by bubbling chlorine gas through it:

Cl₂(g) + 2Br⁻(aq) → 2Cl⁻(aq) + Br₂(l)

Calculate the volume of chlorine gas, VCl2, at room conditions, needed to set free all the bromine in VV = 1,000 L of brine with 0.050 M0.050\ \mathrm{M} Br⁻. Assume that 1 mol of gas takes 25 L.
