Which is the best description of the behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below `H_(2)O+Br_(2) rarr HOBr+HBr`A. Reduced onlyB. Proton acceptor onlyC. Both oxidised and reducedD. Oxidised only |
Answer» Correct Answer - C `H_(2)O+overset(0)Br_(2)rarroverset(+1)(HOBr)+overset(-1)(HBr)` In this reaction O.N of bromine increases from 0 (in `Br_(2)`) to +1 (in HOBr). Thus, it is both oxidised and reduced. |
