2F2(g)+2H2Ol →4H(aq)++4F(aq)-+O2(g) X2(g)+H2O(l) → HX(a q)+HOX(aq) X=Cl2 or Br2

Q. Which of the following statement is correct?

F₂ oxidises H₂O to O₂ but Cl₂ does not.

Fluoride is a good oxidizing agent.

Cl₂ oxidises H₂O to O₂ but F₂ does not.

Cl₂ is a stronger oxidizing agent than F₂ .

$2 F_{2 (g)} + 2 H_{2} O_{l} \to 4 H_{(a q)}^{+} + 4 F_{(a q)}^{-} + O_{2 (g)}$
$X_{2 (g)} + H_{2} O_{(l)} \to H X_{(a q)} + H O X_{(a q)}$
$X = C l_{2} or B r_{2}$

Q. Which of the following statement is correct?

Fluoride is a good oxidizing agent.

Cl2 oxidises H2O to O2 but F2 does not.

Cl2 is a stronger oxidizing agent than F2 .

2F2(g)​+2H2​Ol​→4H(aq)+​+4F(aq)−​+O2(g)​ X2(g)​+H2​O(l)​→HX(aq)​+HOX(aq)​ X=Cl2​orBr2​

F₂ oxidises H₂O to O₂ but Cl₂ does not.

Cl₂ oxidises H₂O to O₂ but F₂ does not.

Cl₂ is a stronger oxidizing agent than F₂ .

$2 F_{2 (g)} + 2 H_{2} O_{l} \to 4 H_{(a q)}^{+} + 4 F_{(a q)}^{-} + O_{2 (g)}$
$X_{2 (g)} + H_{2} O_{(l)} \to H X_{(a q)} + H O X_{(a q)}$
