    Bromine can be liberated from KBr solution by the action of

    A)  KI                                          

    B)  NaCI

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

    D)  \[{{I}_{2}}\] solution

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea A more electronegative halogen displaces less electronegative halogen from its halides. The electronegativity order of halogen is as                 F > Cl > Br > I Chlorine is more electronegative than bromine so chlorine will liberate \[B{{r}_{2}}\] from KBr.                 \[C{{l}_{2}}+2KBr\xrightarrow{{}}2KCl+B{{r}_{2}}\] While iodine is less electronegative than bromine. So it cannot displace bromine from KBr. Note - A more electropositive halogen displaces less electropositive halogen from its halite.                 \[{{l}_{2}}+2KCl{{O}_{3}}\xrightarrow{{}}2Kl{{O}_{3}}+C{{l}_{2}}\]
