Which of the following reactions are feasible?

Options

A. `Cl_2 + 2Br^(-) to 2Cl^(-) + Br_2`
B. `Br_2 + 2F^(-) to 2 Br^(-) + F_2 `
C. ` I_2 + 2Br^(-) to 2I^(-) + Br_2`
D. `F_2 + 2Br^(-) to 2 F^(-) + Br_2`

Answer

A, D

Explanation

`F_2` is the strongest oxidizing agent, while `Cl_2` will oxidize `Br_2` and `I_2 Br_2` will oxidize only `l_2` and `l_2` is the weakest oxidizing agent.
