Identify the elements undergoing reduction and oxidation respectively in the following redox reaction. 3 H ₃ AsO _ 3( aq ) + BrO _ 3( aq ) ⁻ Br _ ( aq ) ⁻+3 H ₃ AsO ₄
Options
- AAs and O
- BBr and As
- CAs and Br
- DBr and O
Correct answer
B. Br and As
Step-by-step solution
The oxidation number of Br decreases from +5 . to -1 and that of As increasés from +3 to +5 . Hence, Br undergoes reduction and As undergoes oxidation.
