SUMMARY
The experiment focused on the oxidizing abilities of halogens when reacted with potassium halide solutions. It was determined that the addition of hexane served as a non-polar solvent to visualize color changes, indicating whether a displacement reaction occurred. The polarity of the solvent played a crucial role in the experiment's outcomes, highlighting the importance of solvent choice in chemical reactions involving halogens.
