    Which is the best description of behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below? \[{{H}_{2}}O+B{{r}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}HBr+HOBr\]

    A) Proton accepted only

    B) Both oxidised and reduced

    C) Oxidised only

    D) Reduced only

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In reaction, \[{{H}_{2}}O+B{{r}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+1}{\mathop{HOBr}}\,+\overset{-1}{\mathop{HBr}}\,\] The oxidation number of bromine increases from. 0 to + 1 and decreases from 0 to - 1, so due to this reason bromine is both oxidised as well as reduced in the above reaction.
