Iodine(I2) and Bromine(Br2) are added to a solution containing iodide(I-) and bromide ions(Br-). What reaction would occur if the concentration of each species is 1M? The electrode potentials are E0 I2/I-=0.54V and E0 Br2/Br-=1.08V

The reaction which has higher reduction potential will be taking place at cathode. Br2 will be reduced to Br- and I- will be oxidized to I2.
