Question

Given below are two statements: Statement (I): Oxidising power of halogens decreases in the order \[ F_2>Cl_2>Br_2>I_2 \] which is the basis of the “Layer test”. Statement (II): “Layer test” to identify \(Br_2\) and \(I_2\) in aqueous solution involves the oxidation of bromide or iodide into \(Br_2\) or \(I_2\) respectively with \(Cl_2\), which is a type of displacement redox reaction. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer:

• A. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
• B. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
• C. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
• D. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
