Which ionic equation shows a reaction that actually takes place, with the species oxidised or reduced correctly identified?
I2+2Br−→2I−+Br2\mathrm{I_{2} + 2Br^{-} \rightarrow 2I^{-} + Br_{2}}I2+2Br−→2I−+Br2; bromide ions are oxidised
Cl2+2I−→2Cl−+I2\mathrm{Cl_{2} + 2I^{-} \rightarrow 2Cl^{-} + I_{2}}Cl2+2I−→2Cl−+I2; chlorine molecules are oxidised
Br2+2I−→2Br−+I2\mathrm{Br_{2} + 2I^{-} \rightarrow 2Br^{-} + I_{2}}Br2+2I−→2Br−+I2; iodide ions are oxidised
Br2+2Cl−→2Br−+Cl2\mathrm{Br_{2} + 2Cl^{-} \rightarrow 2Br^{-} + Cl_{2}}Br2+2Cl−→2Br−+Cl2; bromine molecules are reduced
