A student writes the following incorrect chemical equation for a single replacement reaction be- tween lithium bromide and fuorine.
2LiBr(aq) + F₂(g) → 2Li(s) + 2FBrg).
In a single replacement reaction, part of an ionic compound is removed and replaced by a new element. What element will fluorine replace in lithium bromide? Hint: What is the most common ionic form of fluorine?
