ALEKS Chemistry Answers: Balance Br₂ + I₂ → IBr₃

Atom conservation gives the smallest whole-number coefficient ratio 3:1:2, so the balanced equation is 3Br₂(l) + I₂(s) → 2IBr₃(g).

Evidence boundary

This answer balances only the formulas and physical-state labels in the ALEKS manual's locked example. It establishes atom conservation and the smallest whole-number coefficient ratio, but it does not establish reaction feasibility, mechanism, equilibrium, or yield.
