Which of the following reactions does not take place?
Options
- AF 2 + 2 C l - → 2 F - + C l 2
- BBr 2 + 2 I − → 2 Br − + I 2
- CC l 2 + 2 B r - → 2 C l - + B r 2
- DC l 2 + 2 F - → 2 C l - + F 2
Correct answer
D. C l 2 + 2 F - → 2 C l - + F 2
Step-by-step solution
C l 2 cannot displace F 2 but F 2 can displace C l 2 on account of its higher electronegativity. The SRP value of F 2 is highest in the electrochemtextcal series. So it will oxidise chlorine.
