When \(Br_2\) is treated with aqueous solution of \(NaF, NaCl, NaI\) separately |
\(F_2, Cl_2, I_2\) are liberated Only \(F_2\) and \(Cl_2\) are liberated Only \(Cl_2\) is liberated Only \(I_2\) is liberated |
Only \(I_2\) is liberated |
The correct answer is option 4. Only \(I_2\) is liberated. Bromine is a halogen, and halogens are very reactive elements. They can displace other halogens from their compounds. The order of reactivity of halogens is: \[ This means that fluorine is the most reactive halogen and iodine is the least reactive halogen. \[ As you can see, bromine can only displace iodine from its compound. This is because bromine is more reactive than iodine. Therefore, the correct answer is (4) Only \(I_2\) is liberated. |
