In the following reaction, 3Br_(2) + 6CO_(3)^(2-) + H_(2)O to 5Br^(-) + BrO_(3)^(-) + 6HCO_(3)^(-)
Answer»
Solution :`OVERSET(0)(3Br_(2)) 6CO_(3)^(2-) + H_(2)O to overset(-1)(5Br^(-)) + overset(+5)(BrO_(3)^(-)) +6HCO_(3) `. In this REACTION bromine is oxidised as WELL as reduced. It is an example of disproportionation reaction
