Identify the elements undergoing reduction and oxidation respectively in the following redox reaction. \(3 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{AsO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}+\mathrm{BrO}_{3(\mathrm{aq})}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{Br}_{(\mathrm{aq})}^{-}+3 \mathrm{H}_3 \mathrm{AsO}_4\)

  1. A As and \(\mathrm{O}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Br}\) and \(\mathrm{As}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{As}\) and \(\mathrm{Br}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Br}\) and \(\mathrm{O}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\mathrm{Br}\) and \(\mathrm{As}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The oxidation number of \(\mathrm{Br}\) decreases from +5 . to -1 and that of As increasés from +3 to +5 . Hence, \(\mathrm{Br}\) undergoes reduction and \(\mathrm{As}\) undergoes oxidation.
