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 acceptor only

B

Both oxidized and reduced

C

Oxidized only

D

Reduced only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`{:(" "(0)" "(+1)" "(-1)),(H_(2)O+Br_(2) to HOBr+HBr):}`
Thus here oxidation number of Br increases from 0 to `+1` and also decreases from 0 to `-1`. This it is oxidised as well as reduced.
