I had to synthesize elemental bromine, using water as the solvent for the reactants. The liquid bromine is formed from bromide ion and bromate ion, plus acid, using the following redox reaction:

 

5 Br- + BrO3- + 6 H+ = 3 Br2 + 3 H2O

 

or... with names,

 

bromide and bromate, mixed with some acid, form liquid bromine in water.
