Which is the best decription of behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below ? `H_(2)O + Br_(2) HBR + HOBr`A. Only oxidisedB. Only reducedC. Both oxidised and reducedD. Only proton accepted

Answer» Correct Answer - C
In the reaction.
`H_(2)O+overset(0)(B)r_(2) rarr HO overset(+1)(Br)+Hoverset(-1)(Br)`
The oxidation number of bromine increases from 0 to +1 and decreases from 0 to -1, dut to this reason bromine is both oxidised as well as reduced in the above reaction.
