(c) Cl₂ and Br⁻ (d) Cl₂ and I₂

Answer 1

Answer:

Standard reduction potentials of the half reactions are

given below :

F₂(g) + 2e⁻ → 2F⁻ (aq); E° = + 2.85 V

Cl₂(g) + 2e⁻ → 2Cl⁻(aq); E° = + 1.36 V Br₂(l) + 2e⁻ →

2Br⁻(aq); E° = + 1.06 V I₂(s) + 2e⁻ → 2I⁻(aq); E° = + 0.53 V

The strongest oxidising and reducing agents respectively

are :

(a) F₂ and I⁻

(b) Br₂ and Cl⁻

(c) Cl₂ and Br⁻

(d) Cl₂ and I₂

Answer 2
