When chlorine gas is added to an aqueous solution of sodium fluoride (aq)
a) fluorine gas is produced.

d) sodium chloride is produced.

Answer 1

In the halogen series, any element ABOVE another halogen will displace the lower halogen; i.e.,
Cl2(g) + 2NaI ==> I2(s) + 2NaCl but the reverse is not true. Cl2 gas is BELOW F2 and no reaction between NaF and Cl2 gas will occur.
