Identify correct statement for following reaction.
$3 \mathrm{Br}_2+6 \mathrm{CO}_3{ }^{2-}+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O} \rightarrow 5 \mathrm{Br}^{-}+\mathrm{BrO}_3{ }^{-}+6 \mathrm{HCO}_3^{-}$
- Bromine is neither reduced nor oxidised
- Bromine is oxidised and carbonate is reduced
- Bromine is reduced and water is oxidised
- Bromine is both reduced and oxidised
Solution
$\mathrm{Br}_2$ is undergoing oxidation as well as reduction.
