Which is the best description of behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below\[{{H}_{2}}O+B{{r}_{2}}\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}HBr+HOBr\] [AIPMT (S) 2004]

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.
