Answer» Correct Answer - D `overset(+7)MnO_(4)^(-1)(aq)+Br^(-1)(aq)tooverset(+4)MnO_(2)(s)+overset(+5)BrO_(3)(aq)` In the above reaction, oxidation number of Mn in `MnO_(4)^(-1)`(aq) decreases from + 7 to+ 4 in `MnO_(2)` (s) and oxidation number of `Br^(-)` increase from -1 (in `Br^(-)` (aq) to + 5 (in `BrO_(3)^(-1)`(aq) ). Thus, the correct option is (d). |
