    What is the electrolyte used in the electrolytic method of preparation of fluorine?

    A)  \[NaF+CaC{{l}_{2}}\]   

    B)  \[KH{{F}_{2}}+LiF\]

    C)  \[KF+LiH{{F}_{2}}\]                        

    D)  \[CaC{{l}_{2}}+KF\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     In Dennis method the fluorine is prepared  by the electrolysis of fused sodium or potassium hydrogen fluoride. \[KH{{F}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}KF+HF\]                 \[HF\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}^{+}}+{{F}^{-}}\] \[2{{H}^{+}}+2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{H}_{2}}\](at cathode) \[2{{F}^{-}}-2{{e}^{-}}\xrightarrow{{}}{{F}_{2}}\](at anode) Fluorine liberated at the anode is passed through the tube containing lithium or  sodium fluoride. This removes the hydrogen  fluoride vapours coming with fluorine. \[LiF+HF\xrightarrow{{}}LiH{{F}_{2}}\]
