Standard reduction potentails of the half reactions are given below: `F_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2F^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +2.87` `Cl_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2Cl^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +1.36 V` `Br_(2)(g)+2e^(-) rarr 2Br^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +1.09 V` `I_(2)(s)+2e^(-) rarr 2l^(-)(aq.),, E^(ɵ)= +0.54 V` The strongest oxidizing and reducing agents respectively are:A. `F_(2)` and `I^(-)`B. `Br_(2)` and `Cl^(-)`C. `Cl_(2)` and `Br^(-)`D. `Cl_(2)` and `I_(2)` |
