Answer #1

Number of moles of electron transferred in the reaction is determined by loss or gain of electron.

So there are to method

1) balance the half reaction.amd see how many electrons are participating in balancing reaction. That will be n.

Or just see the Br- oxidation number is (-) and it is going to Br2 oxidation number is (0). So it change is 1 and there are 6 Br- so it has total charge is 6. And that is n.now u can do same with MnO4^-

2 Br B + e + 404 6Br
