The `E^(@)` values of redox complex of halogens are given. Based on these values mark the correct statement.
`E_(I_(2)//CI^(-))^(@)=+0.54V, E_(Br_(2)//Br^(-))^(@)=+1.08V`,
`E_(Cl_(2)//Cl^(-))^(@)=+1.36V`,

Options

A. Chlorine can displace bromine and iodine from their salt solutions.
B. Chlorine can only displace iodine from its salt solution.
C. Bromine can displace chlorine from its salt solution.
D. Iodine can displace chlorine and bromine from their salt solutions.

Answer

A

Explanation

Since chlorine has higher reduction potential than bromine and iodine so it can displace them from their salt solutions.
`2NaI +Cl_(2) rarr 2NaCl+I_(2)`
`2NaBr + Cl_(2) rarr 2 NaCl + Br_(2)`
