Halogenation of Benzene Question.
'Write an equation to show how the catalyst iron(III) bromide induces polarization of bromine molecule in the reaction between benzene and bromine.'
I have only been taught that FeBr3 'makes' Br2 polar. I have no idea what equation I could write though.
Any ideas?

I guess (but not strictly true): Br2 + FeBr3 ---> Br+ + FeBr4-
Superacid
That's what I thought, but like you say that's not true as no ions are formed. Isn't it impossible to write an equation for polarisation, as nothing really reacts?
Indeed, this is why we rely on mechanisms to convey this information
