In the reaction 3Br 6CO 3H O 5Br BrO 6HCO →
A.Bromine is oxidized and carbonate is reduced
B.Bromine is reduced and water is reduced
C.Bromine is neither reduced nor oxidised
D.Bromine is both reduced and oxidised✓ Correct
Explanation
2 1 o 1 3 5 o Br Br R Br Br O O → → It is a disproportionation reaction, and hence, Br₂ is both reduced and oxidised
