Solution

The correct option is C Br2+2I12Br+I2
We know that,
ΔG=nFEcell, if ΔG>0 the, the reaction is said to be spontaneous.For that, Ecell>0
  • In the given options considering option A,
Ecell=EcathodeEanode=0.541.09=1.63V
So the value of Ecell>0 and hence the reaction will be non-spontaneous.
  • Hence,option A is correct answer.
