Question

HBr and HI reduce sulphuric acid, HCl can reduce $KMnO_4$ and HF can reduce

• A. $H_2SO_4$
• B. $KMnO_4$
• C. $K_2Cr_2$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of these

Answer 2

Fluorine, being the most electronegative, its size is very
small. Therefore, it does not have a tendency to loose
electrons. Hence, HF does not act as a reducing agent.
