    Bromine can be liberated from \[KBr\] solution by the action of:

    A) chlorine                

    B)        \[\text{ }\!\!~\!\!\text{ NaCl}\]

    C) \[\text{KI}\]                          

    D)        iodine solution

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The more electronegative halogen displaces less electronegative halogen from its salt. \[\because \] \[C{{l}_{2}}\]is more electronegative than \[B{{r}_{2}}.\] \[\therefore \] \[C{{l}_{2}}\]displaces bromine from KBr \[\text{NaCl,}\,{{\text{I}}_{\text{2}}}\]and KI cannot displace bromine from KBr.
