Sodium perbromate is an oxidizing agent that can be made in the two ways
represented by the equations below. The first equation shows the way it was made
in the past, and the second equation represents the technique used today.

Determine the oxidation number for each atom in each of these equations, and
decide whether each reaction is a redox reaction or not. If a reaction is a redox
reaction, identify which substance is oxidized, which substance is reduced, the
oxidizing agent, and the reducing agent.
