Okay this is under electrochemistry, and in my ap chem class we haven't even reviewed general chemistry and i have no clue or have ever seen this kind of question so please help me?
When this partial equation:
BrO^- + CrO2^- = Br^- + CrO4^2-
is balanced in basic solution with similest set of whole number coeffcients, the balanced equation will contain:
(a) 2OH^-
(b) 2BrO^-
(c) 3CrO2^-
(d) 4H2O
i thought it was B just by balancing but i have no idea how to approach this question please help!!!

Basic (aqueous) solution essentially means you can add as many OH-'s as you want.
BrO + CrO2 + 2OH -> Br + CrO4 + H2O
Although BrO works, it might not be what they are looking for.
BrO + CrO2 + 2OH -> Br + CrO4 + H2O
