Concept explainers
Interpretation:
To predict the reaction that will occur between halogens and halide salts.
Concept introduction:
The halogens are placed on the left of the noble gases on the periodic table. They are comprises of total of 5 elements. The reactivity of halogen is as follows:
In displacement reactions, a more reactive halogen displaces less reactive halogens in a compound.
Answer to Problem 2STP
The reaction which is given in option A occurs.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
The reaction given in the option A is as follows:
In this reaction, fluorine displaces iodine because fluorine is the most reactive halogens than iodine. So, it replaces iodine.
Reason for incorrect option:
The reaction given in option B, C, and D will not occur. Because in option B, iodine is less reactive than bromine. So, it does not displace bromine in a compound from its position.
In option C, chlorine is less reactive than fluorine. So, it does not displace fluorine in a compound from its position.
In option D, bromine is less reactive than chlorine. So, it does not displace chlorine in a compound from its position.
