In the reaction 2Br^(-) + X2 to Br2 + ...

In the reaction
`2Br^(-) + X_2 to Br_2 + 2X^(-) , X_2` is

A

`Cl_2`

B

`Br_2`

C

`I_2`

D

`N_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`2 Br^(-)+X_2 to Br_2+2X^(-)`
Only chlorine (which is more reactive than Br) can displace `Br_2` from bromides. Therefore, `X_2` is `Cl_2`
