3. Balance the following redox equation using the half-reaction method. Remember a substance may be both oxidized and reduced simultaneously. (base/alkaline) BrO31- Br1 Br2 0) 4. Using the balanced redox equation from question #3, how many mL of bromine (density 3.12 g/cm3) will be required to produce 2.50 moles of bromate ion?I was needing help on question number 4. I was getting 384 mL but I feel like that is wrong. I did 2.50 moles of BrO3- X 3/1 for the mol ratio then 159.808 g/mol Bromine then used the density given to get mL.
