You can use a single replacement reaction in which elemental iodine reacts with bromic acid, #"HBrO"_3#, to produce iodic acid, #"HIO"_3#, and elemental bromine. Iodine replaces bromine in single replacement reactions involving halogens.

#"I"_2("s")# + #"2HBrO"_3("aq")##rarr##"2IO"_3("aq")# + #"Br"_2("l")#

You can use a single replacement reaction in which elemental iodine reacts with bromic acid, #"HBrO"_3#, to produce iodic acid, #"HIO"_3#, 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.
