You can use a single replacement reaction in which elemental iodine reacts with bromic acid, HBrO3, to produce iodic acid, HIO3, and elemental bromine. Iodine replaces bromine in single replacement reactions involving halogens.

I2(s) + 2HBrO3(aq)2IO3(aq) + Br2(l)

You can use a single replacement reaction in which elemental iodine reacts with bromic acid, HBrO3, to produce iodic acid, HIO3, and elemental bromine. Iodine replaces bromine in single replacement reactions involving halogens. This reaction reduces the oxidation number for bromine from +5 in the bromic acid to 0 for the elemental bromine.

I2(s) + 2HBrO3(aq)2IO3(aq) + Br2(l)
