What elements are capable of displacing oxygen from some oxides? Of course fluorine. But are there any case when chlorine or even bromine can do the
same?blogfast25 - 1-5-2015 at 13:43
Bromine almost certainly not. Chlorine in a few exceptional cases perhaps. The oxides tend to have significantly more negative Free Energies of
Formation than the bromides or chlorides.Etaoin Shrdlu - 1-5-2015 at 15:59
"Some" oxides? No specified conditions? This question is far too vague to be meaningful. Can we delve into organic chemistry?
Certainly, calcium oxide will react with HCl to form calcium chloride and water. It seems very likely reaction with HBr would proceed similarly.gdflp - 1-5-2015 at 17:59

That's an acid-base reaction though, not a redox reaction. I think that a redox reaction was what the OP was looking for. 2X2 + 2MO -->
O<sub>2</sub> + 2MX<sub>2</sub> where M is a metal and X is a halogen.Etaoin Shrdlu - 1-5-2015 at 18:06
A reasonable interpretation. This is what I meant by "far too vague to be meaningful" since there's no mention of redox whatsoever.
