Solution

Balance the equation in basic medium
10OH+S2O232SO24+5H2O+8e
2e+Br22Br]×4
_____________________________________________
4Br2+S2O23+10OH2SO24+8Br+5H2O

⎢ ⎢ ⎢Molesreactedandformed⎥ ⎥ ⎥ (0.01×4) (0.01) (0.01×10) (0.01×2) (0.01×8) (0.01×5)
[Molesleft] (0.150.04)(=0.11) (0.40.1)(=0.3) (0.02) (0.08) (0.05)
So, molar ratio of combination is:
Br2:S2O23:OH::4:1:10
[OH] left after reaction =0.3 mol
