Standard reduction potentials of the half-reactions are given below:
$F_{2(g)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2F^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +2.85 \ V$
$Cl_{2(g)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Cl^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +1.36 \ V$
$Br_{2(l)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2Br^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +1.06 \ V$
$I_{2(s)} + 2e^- \rightarrow 2I^-_{(aq)}$; $E^o = +0.53 \ V$

  • A
    $F_2$ and $I^-$
  • B
    $Br_2$ and $Cl^-$
  • C
    $Cl_2$ and $Br^-$
  • D
