Which one of halogen oxidizes water to oxygen with large evolution of heat?A. `F_(2)`B. `Cl_2`C. `Br_(2)`D. `I_(2)` |

Answer» Correct Answer - A F atoms are reduced to `F^(-)` `2F_(2)+2H_(2)O to 4HF+O_(2)+"Heat"` `3F_(2)+3H_(2)O to 6HF+O_(3)+"Heat"` A similar relation of chlorine with `H_(2)O` occurs, but the reaction is very slow, because the energy of activation is high. |
