For a species to undergo disproportionation,
Ecell=+ve;ΔG=ve
Disproportionation of HBrO :
HBrOBrO3+Br2Ecell=EcEa=EHBro/Br2EHBrO/BrO3=1.5951.5=0.095VEcell =+ve and ΔG=ve
HBrO disproportionation is Spontaneous
(1) Disproportionation of BrO3:
BrO3BrO4+HBrOEcell=EcEa=EBrO3/HBrOEBro4/BrO3=1.51.82=0.32V
Therefore BrO3 does not undergo disproportionation reaction.
(2) BrO4 does not undergo disproportionation as the maximum oxidation state of Br = +7
(3) Disproportionationof Br2
Br2HBrO+BrEcell =EcEa=EBr2/BrEHBro/Br2=1.06531.595=0.5298V
Ecell=ve no disproportionation reaction.
