O Levels Chemistry (5070)•5070/11/O/N/22

Explanation
Halogen Displacement Reactions Steps:
- Reactivity series of halogens: F > Cl > Br > I; more reactive halogen displaces less reactive one from its salt.
- Statement 1: Cl₂ + 2KI → 2KCl + I₂ occurs since Cl > I, so Statement 1 is true.
- Statement 2: Lacks subject (what "cannot displace" Br from KBr?), making it incomplete and unverifiable.
- Without clear subject for Statement 2, cannot confirm its validity; assume ambiguity invalidates it.
Why D is correct:
- Neither statement fully holds: Statement 1 is true, but Statement 2's ambiguity means it cannot be assessed as correct.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Statement 2 ambiguous, not both correct.
- B: Statement 2 not verifiable as false due to missing info.
- C: Statement 1 is correct, so not only 2.
Not enough information for Statement 2. Final answer: D
