The gas`X` at `1 atm` is bubbled through a solution containing a mixture of `1MY^(c-)` and `1MZ^(c-)` at `25^(@)C` . If the order of reduction potential is `ZgtYgtX`, then

Options

A. Cl will oxdise 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

Answer

A

Explanation

` ZgtYgtX("Nonmetals like" F_2 gtCl_2 gtBr_2)`
So, Y will oxidise both ` X^-` but not `Z^-`
`Z`will oxidise both ` X^- NS y^-x` can't oxidse `Y^-` to `Z^-`.
