1)

The reaction of $Br_{2}$ with$Na_{2}CO_{3}$ in an aqueous solution gives sodium bromide and sodium bromate with evolution of$CO_{2}$ gas. The number of sodium bromide molecules involved in the balanced chemical equation is


A) 4

B) 6

C) 5

D) 8

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Br2 is disproportionated in basic medium as

 $2Br_{2}+3Na_{2}CO_{3} \rightarrow  5NaBr+NaBrO_{2}+3CO_{2}$
