The hydrolysis of an interhalogen compound can be represented as :

XX'₅ + n₂H₂O → HXO₃ + n₁HX'

If the given interhalogen compound is polar and non-planar (square pyramidal), calculate n₁ + n₂.

Answer:
8
Solution:

The square-pyramidal XX'₅ is BrF₅ (or IF₅): BrF₅ + 3H₂O → HBrO₃ + 5HF. So n₁ = 5, n₂ = 3, and n₁ + n₂ = 8.
