Consider the change in oxidation state of bromine corresponding to different emf values as shown in the given diagram : BrO4- 1.82 V BrO3- 1.5 V HBrO 1.595 V Br2 1.0652 V Br- Then the species undergoing disproportionation is :

  1. BrO4-
  2. BrO3-
  3. Br2
  4. HBrO

Answer

(4) HBrO

Solution

A species disproportionates when E cell = E right - E left > 0 (it is reduced as well as oxidised).

BrO3-: E cell = 1.5 - 1.82 = -0.32 V (no)

HBrO: E cell = 1.595 - 1.5 = +0.095 V (yes)

Br2: E cell = 1.0652 - 1.595 = -0.53 V (no)

BrO4- is in the highest oxidation state (+7) ⇒ it cannot be oxidised further.

∴ HBrO disproportionates: 2HBrO Br2 + BrO3- (unbalanced form).
