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.You need to login to perform this action.
