When chlorine gas is added to an aqueous solution of sodium fluoride (aq)

a) fluorine gas is produced.
b) a synthesis reaction takes place.
c) no reaction occurs.
d) sodium chloride is produced.

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.

Doesn't "no reaction between NaF and Cl2 gas will occur" give you a clue?

so what is the answer

nevermind i got it

no

its c

To determine the answer to this question, we need to consider the chemical reaction between chlorine gas (Cl2) and sodium fluoride (NaF) in aqueous solution. The balanced equation for this reaction is:

Cl2 + 2NaF → 2NaCl + F2

This reaction shows that chlorine gas reacts with sodium fluoride to form sodium chloride (NaCl) and fluorine gas (F2). Therefore, the correct answer is option a) fluorine gas is produced.
