Bromine can be produced by: A)oxidizing Cl₂ with Br^- B)oxidizing Br^- with Cl₂ C)oxidizing Br^- with I₂ D)oxidizing I^- with Br^- E)oxidizing F^- with Br^-

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bromine can be produced by oxidizing bromide ions (Br-) with chlorine (Cl-) or iodine (I-) but not with fluorine (F-). So, option A, C, D, and E are incorrect. The correct reaction for the production of bromine is:
2Br- + Cl2 → 2Cl- + Br2
Option B represents this reaction and is therefore the best choice.
