Question

Consider the following half reactions and choose the correct alternative
(i) `Cl_(2(g))+2e^(-) rarr 2Cl_((aq))^(-)E^(@)=1.36V`
(ii) `Br_(2(l))+2e^(-)rarr 2Br_((aq))^(-)E^(@)=1.07V`
(iii) `I_(2(s))+2e^(-)rarr 2I_((aq))^(-)E^(@)=0.53V`
A. `Br_(2)` cannot oxidize `I^(-)`
B. `Cl_(2)` can oxidize `Br^(-)` but not `I^(-)`
C. `I_(2)` can oxidize `Cl^(-)`
D. `Br_(2)` can oxidize `I^(-)` but not `Cl^(-)`
