The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect statement regarding the properties of halogens, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyzing Statement 1: Bond Dissociation Energy of Bromine vs. Chlorine** - The statement claims that the bond dissociation energy of bromine (Br2) is greater than that of chlorine (Cl2). - Bond dissociation energy is the energy required to break the bond between two atoms. - As we move down the group from chlorine to bromine, the atomic size increases due to the addition of electron shells. - A larger atomic size leads to a longer bond length, which results in weaker bonds. - Therefore, the bond dissociation energy of Cl2 is actually greater than that of Br2. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyzing Statement 2: Standard Electrode Potential of Chlorine vs. Fluorine** - The statement claims that the standard electrode potential is greater for chlorine than for fluorine. - The standard electrode potential relates to the tendency of a species to gain electrons (reduction). - Fluorine (F2) has a higher reduction potential than chlorine (Cl2) due to its smaller size and stronger tendency to gain electrons. - Therefore, the statement is **incorrect**. 3. **Analyzing Statement 3: Percentage of Chlorine in Bleaching Powder** - The statement discusses the percentage of chlorine in bleaching powder (Ca(OCl)2). - To calculate the percentage of chlorine, we find the molar mass of Ca(OCl)2: - Calcium (Ca) = 40 g/mol - Oxygen (O) = 16 g/mol (2 O = 32 g/mol) - Chlorine (Cl) = 35.5 g/mol (2 Cl = 71 g/mol) - Total molar mass = 40 + 32 + 71 = 143 g/mol - The percentage of chlorine is calculated as: \[ \text{Percentage of Cl} = \left(\frac{71}{143}\right) \times 100 \approx 49.65\% \] - The statement that claims a specific percentage (55.55%) is incorrect based on this calculation. 4. **Final Conclusion:** - All three statements analyzed are incorrect. However, the first statement is the one specifically asked for in the question. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: - Statement 1: Incorrect (Br2 has lower bond dissociation energy than Cl2). - Statement 2: Incorrect (F2 has a higher standard electrode potential than Cl2). - Statement 3: Incorrect (Percentage of chlorine in bleaching powder is approximately 49.65%).
