H₂O+ Br₂ → HOBr + HBr is both oxidized and reduced.
Explanation:
Redox reaction
- It is the reaction in which one is oxidized and another is reduced. We must change the species involved in the oxidation state. Applications of these reactions are photographic processing, batteries, energy production.
- Types of Redox reaction include disproportionation reaction, combustion reaction and single replacement reaction.
H₂O+ Br₂ → HOBr + HBr
- Bromine oxidation number increases from 0 to +1 in HOBr and decreases from 0 to -1 in HBr.
- Thus bromine is oxidized and reduced is called as Redox reaction.
