Could someone explain how to write the half reactions for the reaction of ozone with bromide ions:

O3(aq) + Br^1 (aq) ---> O2(g) + BrO3^- (aq)

[Charlyn Ghoubrial 2I]

Your oxidation half reaction would start as Br- (aq) —> BrO3^(-) and then you would balance the oxygen by adding 3H2O(l) molecules on the left
Your reduction half reaction would start as O3(aq) —> O2(g) and then you would balance the oxygen by adding H2O(l) molecule on the right
