    Consider the change in oxidation state of Bromine corresponding to different emf values as shown in the diagram below: [NEET - 2018]
    Then the species undergoing disproportionation is

    A) \[\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{2}}\]  

    B) \[\text{BrO}_{\text{4}}^{\text{-}}\]

    C) \[\text{BrO}_{\text{3}}^{\text{-}}\]

    D) \[\text{HBrO}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{\text{HBrO}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{0}{\mathop{\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}}}\,,E_{HBrO/B{{r}_{2}}}^{O}=1.595V\]
    \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{\text{HBrO}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+5}{\mathop{\text{BrO}_{3}^{-}}}\,,E_{BrO_{3}^{-}/HBrO}^{O}=1.5V\]
    \[\text{E}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{o}}\] for the disproportionation of \[\text{HBrO}\],
    \[\text{E}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{o}}\text{-E}_{\text{HBrO/B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}}^{\text{o}}\text{-E}_{\text{BrO}_{\text{3}}^{\text{-}}\text{/HBrO}}^{\text{o}}\]
    \[\text{=1}\text{.595-1}\text{.5}\]
    \[\text{=0}\text{.095V=+ve}\]
    Hence, option is correct Sol..
