Question

In the reaction $$3B{r_2} + 6CO_3^{2 - } + 3{H_2}O \to $$      $$5B{r^ - } + BrO_3^ - + 6HCO_3^ - $$

A. bromine is oxidised and carbonate is reduced.
B. bromine is reduced and water is oxidised
C. bromine is neither reduced nor oxidised
D. bromine is both reduced and oxidised  
Answer :   bromine is both reduced and oxidised
Solution :
$$3B{r_2} + 6CO_3^{2 - } + 3{H_2}O \to 5B{r^ - } + BrO_3^ - + 6HCO_3^ - $$
$$O.N.$$  of $$B{r_2}$$  changes from 0 to $$–1$$ and $$+5$$  hence it is reduced as well as oxidised.
