Solution
Reaction A: Flourine (F2) reacts readily with hydrogen gas to give hydrogen flouride. This reaction occurs even in darkness.
Reaction B: Iodine (I2) reacts with hydrogen gas on heating in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen iodide. This reaction requires a catalyst to progress.
Reaction C: Hydrogen gas reacts violently with oxygen gas to form water and liberates a very large amount of heat i.e, it is a highly exothermic reaction.
