Comments: The UV-visible absorption spectrum of BrCl (200-600 nm) and the equilibrium coefficient for the reaction (Br2)g + (Cl2)g <-- KBrCl --> 2(BrCl)g 
were obtained by analysis of the absorption spectra of gaseous mixtures of Cl2 and Br2, which were investigated at 298 K with a spectral resolution of 0.2 nm. 
The absorption cross-sections of BrCl are in good agreement with those reported by other workers.
