(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The overall equation for the disproportionation of ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ in excess ${\text{OH}}^{\text{-}}$ to ${\text{Br}}^{\text{-}}$ and ${\text{BrO}}_{\text{3}}^{\text{-}}$ has to be written.

Concept Introduction:

Balanced equation:

In a chemical equation, the number of atoms or elements that present in both reactant and product sides are equal means this equation is known as balanced equation.
