water and fluorine produces

  1. A \(\mathrm{HF}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{HF}, \mathrm{O}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{F}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\)
  3. C \(F^{-}, O_{2}\) and \(H^{+}\)
  4. D HOF and HF
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(F^{-}, O_{2}\) and \(H^{+}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At room temperature, the reaction between water and fluorine produces \(\mathrm{F}^{-}, \mathrm{O}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}^{+}\) Fluorine, being non-polar molecule, readily dissolves with water and forms mixture of oxygen and ozone as shown below…
