Answer: The formula for hypobromite [tex] BrO^-[/tex].
Explanation:
Hypobromite is also called as alkaline bromine water with molecular formula of [tex] BrO^-[/tex]. It is used as germicide and antiparasitic
It is prepared by reacting bromine gas and alkali at 20 °C .
[tex]Br_2+2OH^-\rightarrow Br^-+BrO^-+H_2O[/tex]
Oxidizing action of hypobromite ions.
[tex]OBr^-+2H^++e^-\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}Br_2+H_2O[/tex]
