  • C
    $HI$
  • D
    $S{O_2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$C{l_2}$
b
Chlorine is more reactive than bromine and it displaces bromine. If chlorine is added to a solution of potassium bromide, the bromine is replaced by the chlorine forming potassium chloride. Bromine is formed at the same time and can be detected by its colour.

$2 KBr + Cl _2 \rightarrow 2 KCI + Br _2$
