Which of the following is the best description of the behaviour of bromine in the reaction given below?
H 2 ​ O+Br 2 ​ ⟶HOBr+HBr

A

Reduced only

B

Proton acceptor only

C

D

Oxidised only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
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.
