Solution
The correct option is B 6 Steps for finding valency factor/n-factor: 1. Find the oxidation state (O.S.) of metal in reactant side. 2. Find the oxidation state of metal in product side. 3. Take the magnitude of difference of two oxidation state |O.S.Product−O.S.Reactant|×number of atom for the valency factor BrO−3+6H++6e−+→Br−+3H2O O.S. of Br in reactant side =x−6=−1 x=+5 O.S. of Br in product side=-1 valency factor=number of Br atom×|O.S.Product−O.S.Reactant| valency factor=1×|−1−5| valency factor=6
