Chlorine is added to sodium fluoride solution

B

Bromine is added to sodium iodide solution

C

Bromine is added to sodium chloride solution

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Bromine displaces iodine from sodium iodide solution because it is more powerful oxidising agent than iodine due to greater reduction potential value (+1 .06 V) than iodine (+0.5 V). In general, a halogen of low atomic number will oxidise the halide ion of higher atomic number.
