    Bromine is liberated, when aqueous solution of KBr is treated with:

    A)  \[{{I}_{2}}\]                      

    B)         \[C{{l}_{2}}\]                    

    C)  \[S{{O}_{2}}\]                  

    D)         \[\text{dil}\text{.}\,{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Among the halogens, the element, placed above in the group, can displace the halogen (placed below in group) from its solution, hence, chlorine can displace bromine from \[{{H}_{2}}{{O}_{2}}\]. \[2KBr+C{{l}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2KCl+B{{r}_{2}}\]
