    In order to solve this, we need to know the standard cell potentials of the half reaction from the given overall reaction.

    The half reactions with their standard cell potentials are:

    2ClO-3 (aq) + 12H + (aq) + 10e - = Cl2 (g) + 6H2O (l)

    E = + 1.47

    Br (l) + 2e - = 2Br-

    E = + 1.065

    We solve for the standard emf by subtracting the standard emf of the oxidation from the reducation, so:

    1.47 - 1.065 = 0.405 V
