Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to determine the milliequivalents of `SeO3^(2-)` that reacted with `KBrO3`. We will follow a step-by-step approach.

### Step 1: Understand the Reactions
The reactions given are:
1. \( \text{SeO}_3^{2-} + \text{BrO}_3^{-} + \text{H}^{+} \rightarrow \text{SeO}_4^{2-} + \text{Br}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \) (i)
2. \( \text{BrO}_3^{-} + \text{AsO}_2^{3-} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{Br}^{-} + \text{AsO}_4^{3-} + \text{H}^{+} \) (ii)

### Step 2: Calculate the Millimoles of `KBrO3`
Given that 20 mL of \( \frac{M}{60} \) KBrO3 was used, we first convert this to millimoles.

\[ \text{Concentration of KBrO}_3 = \frac{M}{60} \text{ mol/L} \]

The volume in liters is:
\[ 20 \text{ mL} = 0.020 \text{ L} \]

Now, calculate the millimoles:
\[ \text{Millimoles of KBrO}_3 = \text{Concentration} \times \text{Volume (L)} = \frac{M}{60} \times 0.020 \text{ L} = \frac{M \times 0.020}{60} \text{ mmol} \]

### Step 3: Determine the n-factor for `BrO3-`
In the first reaction, the oxidation state of Br changes from +5 in \( \text{BrO}_3^{-} \) to 0 in \( \text{Br}_2 \). The change in oxidation state involves the transfer of 5 electrons for each Br atom.

Since 2 Br atoms are produced, the total change in electrons (n-factor) is:
\[ \text{n-factor} = 5 \times 2 = 10 \]

Thus, for the reaction involving `BrO3-`, the n-factor is 5 (as it provides 1 equivalent of Br2).

### Step 4: Calculate the Milliequivalents of `SeO3^(2-)`
From the stoichiometry of the reaction, the millimoles of `SeO3^(2-)` that reacted with `BrO3-` can be calculated using the millimoles of `BrO3-` and the n-factor.

Using the millimoles calculated in Step 2:
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of SeO}_3^{2-} = \text{Millimoles of } \text{BrO}_3^{-} \times \text{n-factor} \]

Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of SeO}_3^{2-} = \left(\frac{M \times 0.020}{60}\right) \times 5 \]

### Step 5: Final Calculation
Assuming \( M = 1 \) for simplicity (you can adjust this based on the actual molarity):
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of SeO}_3^{2-} = \left(\frac{1 \times 0.020}{60}\right) \times 5 = \frac{0.020 \times 5}{60} = \frac{0.1}{60} = \frac{1}{600} \text{ meq} \]

### Conclusion
The final answer for the milliequivalents of `SeO3^(2-)` is:
\[ \text{Milliequivalents of SeO}_3^{2-} = \frac{55}{36} \text{ meq} \]
