In the redox reaction MnO(4)^(-) +8H^(+)...

In the redox reaction `MnO_(4)^(-) +8H^(+)+Br^(-)rarrMn^(2+)+4H_(2)O+5//2br_(2)` which one is the reducing agent ?

A

`H^(+)`

B

`MnO_(4)^(-)`

C

`Br^(-)`

D

`Mn^(2+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
`Br^(-)` is the reducing agent since it reduces `MnO_(4)^(-)` to `Mn^(+)` and itself gets oxidised to `Br^(2)`
