(a) Br2
(b) BrO3 (aq) HBrO(aq) is a four-electron reduction (+5 to +1
oxidation state), so G = 4(F)(+0.54).
HBrO(aq) Br2(aq) is a one-electron reduction, so G =
1(F)(+0.45).
Total G = ( 2.16F) + ( 0.45F) = 2.61F
E = ( 2.61F)/5F = +0.52 V
(c) The reduction half-reaction does not contain H+ or OH :
Br2(aq) + e
Br (aq)
Hence the Nernst expression does not have a pH-dependent term.

At the crossover point, the values for G will be the same, thus
( 394 kJmol-1) T(+0.003 kJmol 1K 1) =
( 222 kJmol 1) T(+0.179 kJmol 1K 1)
T(0.182 kJmol 1K 1) = +172 kJmol 1
T = 766 K = 493C
