Which of the following is correct regarding the reaction of fluorine with water ? 2F_(2)(g) + 2H_(2)O(l) to 4H^(+) (aq) + 4F^(-) (aq) + O_(2)(g)

Answer»

Fluorine is oxidized to `F^(-)`
WATER is oxidized to `O_(2)`
Water is REDUCED to `H^(+)`
Oxidation state of fluorine does not change

Solution :In the given reaction `F_(2)` is an oxidising agent which oxides `H_(2)O` to `O_(2)`. Oxidation state of fluorine changes 0 to `-1`.
