MCQ
Fluorine is prepared by
  • A
    Oxidation of $HF$
  • B
    Electrolysis of $KF$
  • Electrolysis of fused $KH{F_2}$
  • D
    Decomposition of $Hg{F_2}$

Answer

Correct option: C.
Electrolysis of fused $KH{F_2}$
c
(c) $KH{F_2}\, \to \,KF + HF$

$KF\, \to \,{K^ + } + {F^ - }$

At cathode : ${K^ + } + {e^ - }\, \to \,K$; $2K + 2HF\, \to \,2KF + {H_2}$

At anode : ${F^ - }\, \to \,F + {e^ - }$; $F + F\, \to \,{F_2}$
