A solid sodium halide, NaX\text{NaX}NaX, undergoes the following reactions:
Which of the following correctly identifies the halide ion, X−\text{X}^-X−, and the role of sulfuric acid in the redox reaction that produces the orange-brown vapor?
Halide ion: Br−\text{Br}^-Br−; role of sulfuric acid: oxidising agent
Halide ion: Br−\text{Br}^-Br−; role of sulfuric acid: reducing agent
Halide ion: I−\text{I}^-I−; role of sulfuric acid: oxidising agent
Halide ion: Cl−\text{Cl}^-Cl−; role of sulfuric acid: acid
