    Which of the following displaces \[B{{r}_{2}}\] from an aqueous solution containing bromide ions?

    A)  \[C{{l}^{-}}\]                                     

    B)  \[C{{l}_{2}}\]

    C)  \[I_{3}^{-}\]                                     

    D)  \[{{I}_{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     All the halogens act as strong oxidising agents since, they have a strong tendency to attract electrons. The oxidising power decreases from F to I. ie,           \[{{F}_{2}}>C{{l}_{2}}>B{{r}_{2}}>{{I}_{2}}\]. So, \[C{{l}_{2}}\] will displace Br~ and F ions from their solutions.                 \[C{{l}_{2}}+2B{{r}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}B{{r}_{2}}+2C{{l}^{-}}\].
