SUMMARY
The net ionic equation for the reaction between sodium bromide and chlorine water, in the presence of mineral oil, is represented as Br2(aq) + Cl-(aq). The discussion clarifies that chlorine water primarily contains Cl2, and the presence of Cl- is negligible for this reaction. Additionally, the reactivity of halogens is highlighted, indicating that replacing bromide with iodide would alter the reaction dynamics due to differences in halogen reactivity.
