Question

A gas Cl2 at 1 atm is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of 1 M Br-1 and 1 M F-1 at 25oC. If the reduction potential is F > Cl > Br, then :

Options

A.Cl will oxidise Br and not F
B.Cl will oxidise F and not Br.
C.Cl will oxidise both Br and F
D.Cl will reduce both Br and F

Solution

Z > Y > X (Non metals like F2 > Cl2 > Br2)
So, Y will oxidise X- but not Z-
Z will oxidise both X- and Y-
X can′t oxidise Y- or Z-.
