Question

Choose the correct statement applicable for the reaction: 2H2O + 2F2 arrow 4HF + O2 (A) water is oxidized to O2 (B) F2 is oxidized to HF (C) water is reduced to HF (D) F2 acts as reducing agent in the reaction

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Correct answer is (a) water is oxidized to O2

Q. Choose the correct statement applicable for the reaction : $2 H_{2} O + 2 F_{2} \to 4 H F + O_{2}$

water is oxidized to $O_{2}$

$F_{2}$ is oxidized to $H F$

water is reduced to $H F$

$F_{2}$ acts as reducing agent in the reaction

Correct answer is (a) water is oxidized to $O_{2}$

Q. Choose the correct statement applicable for the reaction : 2H2​O+2F2​→4HF+O2​

water is oxidized to O2​

F2​ is oxidized to HF

water is reduced to HF

F2​ acts as reducing agent in the reaction
