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