Chemistry - Redox Reactions Question with Solution | TestHub

In the given reaction, the oxidation number of bromine increases from 0 to +1 and decreases from 0 to -1 . Due to this reason bromine is both oxidised as well as reduced. $$:{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+\stackrel{0}{{\mathrm{Br}}_2}⟶\mathrm{HOBr}+{\mathrm{HBr}}^{-1}$$ Caution Some students understood that the given reaction is redox reaction, but confuse with fact that redox reaction is the reaction in both oxidation and reduction occurs.
