In the reaction, MnO4aq.-1+Braq.-1→MnO2s+BrO3aq-1, the correct change in oxidation number of the species involved is

  • A
    Br+5 to Br-1
  • B
    Mn+7 to Mn+2
  • C
    Mn+7 to Mn+3
  • Correct answer
    D
    Br-1 to Br+5

Solution

MnO42-aq.+Br-1aq.→MnO2s+BrO3-aq.
BrO3-aq.⇒x+3-2=-1
⇒x=-1+6=+5
Hence, bromine changes from Br-1 to Br+5 .

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
