The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of iodine (I2) with aqueous solutions of NaF, NaBr, and NaCl, we will analyze the reactivity of iodine with each halide. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reactivity of Iodine**: - Iodine (I2) is a diatomic molecule and is known to be a relatively less reactive halogen compared to fluorine (F2), chlorine (Cl2), and bromine (Br2). - The reactivity of halogens decreases down the group in the periodic table, meaning iodine is less reactive than fluorine, chlorine, and bromine. 2. **Reactions with NaF**: - Sodium fluoride (NaF) contains fluoride ions (F-), which are very strong oxidizing agents. - When I2 is introduced into an aqueous solution of NaF, there is no reaction because I2 cannot oxidize F- to F2 due to its lower reactivity. 3. **Reactions with NaBr**: - Sodium bromide (NaBr) contains bromide ions (Br-). - Similar to the case with NaF, when I2 is added to NaBr, no reaction occurs. I2 cannot oxidize Br- to Br2 because Br- is a stronger reducing agent than I2. 4. **Reactions with NaCl**: - Sodium chloride (NaCl) contains chloride ions (Cl-). - Again, when I2 is mixed with NaCl, no reaction takes place. I2 is unable to oxidize Cl- to Cl2 for the same reasons as above. 5. **Conclusion**: - Since iodine does not react with any of the halide ions present in NaF, NaBr, or NaCl, we conclude that there is no reaction in any of these cases. ### Final Answer: - Therefore, the correct answer is that no reaction occurs when iodine is passed through aqueous solutions of NaF, NaBr, and NaCl.
