Displace oxygen by chlorine or even bromine?
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?

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.

"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.

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.

A reasonable interpretation. This is what I meant by "far too vague to be meaningful" since there's no mention of redox whatsoever.

Standard potential of chlorine is +1,36 V. That of oxygen is +1,23 V.

How does water react with chlorine in the practice?
In theory this reaction would give about +0,13 V.

Please post all further non-referenced stuff in Beginnings.
Most of the other topics are for people who want to discuss actual chemistry (or even science!) and not random garbage.
By posting simple questions in Chemistry In General etc you're just causing more work for the moderators.
If you have no idea, post in Beginnings or Whimsy.
