`E_(Cl_(2)//Cl^(-))^(@)=+1.36V`, (A)Chlorine can displace bromine and iodine from their salt solutions. (B)Chlorine can only displace iodine from its salt solution. (C)Bromine can displace chlorine from its salt solution. (D)Iodine can displace chlorine and bromine from their salt solutions

Options

A. Chlorine can displace bromine and iodine from their salt solutions.
B. Chlorine can only displace iodine from its salt solution.
C. Bromine can displace chlorine from its salt solution.
D. Iodine can displace chlorine and bromine from their salt solutions.

Explanation

To solve the question, we need to analyze the standard reduction potentials (E°) of the halogens provided:

1. **Given Data:**
- \( E°(I_2 / I^-) = +0.54 \, V \)
- \( E°(Br_2 / Br^-) = +1.08 \, V \)
- \( E°(Cl_2 / Cl^-) = +1.36 \, V \)

2. **Understanding Reduction Potentials:**
- The higher the standard reduction potential, the more likely the substance is to be reduced (gain electrons).
- In terms of reactivity, a halogen with a higher reduction potential can displace a halogen with a lower reduction potential from its salt solution.

3. **Comparing the Reduction Potentials:**
- Chlorine (\( Cl_2 \)) has the highest reduction potential (+1.36 V), followed by bromine (\( Br_2 \)) (+1.08 V), and iodine (\( I_2 \)) has the lowest (+0.54 V).
- This indicates that:
- Chlorine can displace both bromine and iodine from their salt solutions.
- Bromine can only displace iodine but cannot displace chlorine.
- Iodine cannot displace either chlorine or bromine from their salt solutions.

4. **Evaluating the Options:**
- (A) Chlorine can displace bromine and iodine from their salt solutions. **(True)**
- (B) Chlorine can only displace iodine from its salt solution. **(False)**
- (C) Bromine can displace chlorine from its salt solution. **(False)**
- (D) Iodine can displace chlorine and bromine from their salt solutions. **(False)**

5. **Conclusion:**
- The correct statement is (A): Chlorine can displace bromine and iodine from their salt solutions.
