Q24 / 90 · JEE Main 2023 (01 Feb Shift 1) · Chemistry

Sum of oxidation states of bromine in bromic acid and perbromic acid is

Correct answer: 12

Solution

Structure of Bromic acid:

{HBrO}_{3}

(Bromic acid)
Oxidation State of

Br = + 5

Structure of Per-boric acid:

{HBrO}_{4}

(per bromic acid)
Oxidation state of

Br = + 7

Thus, Sum of Oxidation state

= 12

Hence, the correct answer is 12.
