Uses of interhalogen compounds
Uses of interhalogen compounds-
These are used as :
1- Fluorinated agents. For example , ClF³ and BrF³ are used in making UF6 which is useful in making U²³5 used as a fuel in atomic reactor.
2- as a non aqueous solvents.
3- A solution of ICl glacier acid is used for determination of iodine number which is used to measure the unsaturation of oils and fats.
4- ICl is used as a catalyst in oxidising As²O³ by Ce(SO⁴)².
5- as a oxidiser for propellants.
