Sum of oxidation states of bromine in bromic acid and perbromic acid is ___________.
Answer (integer)
12
Solution
<p>The sum of the oxidation states of bromine in bromic acid (HBrO<sub>3</sub>) and perbromic acid (HBrO<sub>4</sub>) is +12.</p>
<p>In bromic acid, the oxidation state of bromine is +5, while in perbromic acid, it is +7. The sum of the oxidation states of bromine in both compounds is (+5) + (+7) = +12.</p>
