Solution

The correct option is A True
From their reduction potential it can be seen that, as reduction potential of chlorine is higher than that of bromine so it will oxidise as
Cl2+KBrKCl+Br2 (
reddish-brown volatile liquid) because Br ions float freely in the solution that have naturally brown colour.
Thus the above statement is true.
