Question
Write the reactions of F2 with water.
Advertisements
Solution
F2 being a strong oxidising agent oxidises water to O2 or O3.
\[\ce{2F2_{(g)} + 2H2O_{(l)} -> 4HF_{(aq)} + O2_{(g)}}\]
\[\ce{3F2_{(g)} + 3H2O_{(l)} -> 6HF_{(aq)} + O3_{(g)}}\]

Iodine has lowest oxidiation state in ______.
Statement I: Acid strength increases in the order given as HF << HCl << HBr << HI.
