    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 :

    \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{\text{HBrO}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{0}{\mathop{\text{B}{{\text{r}}_{\text{2}}}}}\,,E_{HBrO/B{{r}_{2}}}^{O}=1.595V\] \[\overset{+1}{\mathop{\text{HBrO}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\overset{+5}{\mathop{\text{BrO}_{3}^{-}}}\,,E_{BrO_{3}^{-}/HBrO}^{O}=1.5V\] \[\text{E}_{\text{cell}}^{\text{o}}\] 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..
