Question
- Formation of bromine from bromide.
  
  Assign oxidation numbers to each atom.
  
  Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.

Chemical Equation: 

\[ 2 \text{Br}^-(\text{aq}) + \text{MnO}_2(\text{s}) + 4 \text{H}^+(\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Br}_2(\text{s}) + \text{Mn}^{2+}(\text{aq}) + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l}) \] 

### Explanation
In this reaction:

1. **Oxidation Numbers:**
   - Bromine: Changes from -1 in Br⁻ to 0 in Br₂.
   - Manganese: Changes from +4 in MnO₂ to +2 in Mn²⁺.

2. **Agents:**
   - Oxidizing Agent: MnO₂ (since Mn is reduced from +4 to +2).
   - Reducing Agent: Br⁻ (since Br is oxidized from -1 to 0).
