Which is the best description of the behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below `H_(2)O+Br_(2) rarr HOBr+HBr`A. Proton acceptanceB. Both oxidation and reductionsC. Only oxidationD. only reduction

Answer» Correct Answer - 2
It is relax reaction. Moreover it is a disproportionation as `Br` is oxidized (0 to +1) as well as reduced (0 to -1):
` Br_(2)+H_(2)O rarr overset(-1)(HBR)+overset(+1)(HOBr)`
