Chapter 21, Problem 77PS

The halogen oxides and oxoanions are good oxidizing agents. For example, the reduction of bromate ion has an E° value of 1.44 V in acid solution:

${\text{2 BrO}}_{\text{3}}^{-}{\text{(aq) + 12H}}^{\text{+}}\text{(aq)}+10e^{-}\to {\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}{\text{(aq) + 6 H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}(\mathcal{l})$

Is it possible to oxidize aqueous 1.0 M Mn²⁺ to aqueous MnO₄⁻ with 1.0 M bromate ion?
