Write the reaction of `F_(2)` and `Cl_(2)` with water.

Answer

`F_(2)` being a strong oxidizing agent `H_(2)O` to `O_(2)` or `O_(3)`.
`2F_(2) (g) + 2H_(2)O (I) to 4H^(+) (aq.) + 4F^(-) (aq) + O_(2) (g)`
`3F_(2) (g) + 3H_(2)O (I) to 6 H^(+) (aq.) + 6F^(-) (aq) + O_(3) (g)`
`CI_(2)`, on the other hand, react with `H_(2)O` to form hydroxhloric acid and hypochlorous acid
`CI_(2)(g)+H_(2)O(l)tounderset("acid")underset("Hydrochloric")(HCI(aq.))+ underset("acid")underset("Hydrochlorous")(HOCI(aq.))`
