A

Bromine is oxidised and carbonate is reduced

B

Bromine is reduced and water is oxidised

C

Bromine is neither reduced nor oxidised

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`overset(0)(3Br_(2))+6CO_(3)^(2-)+3H_2O rarroverset(-1)(5Br^(-))+overset(+5)(BrO_3^(-))+6HCO_3`
In this reaction bromine is oxidised as well as reduced.
