6 NaOH (aq) + 2 NH3 (aq) + 3 Br2 (aq) → 6 NaBr (aq) + N2 (g) + 6 H2O (l)

This is an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction:

6 Br0 + 6 e- → 6 Br-I (reduction)

2 N-III - 6 e- → 2 N0 (oxidation)

Br2 is an oxidizing agent, NH3 is a reducing agent.

This is a gas evolution reaction, N2 is the formed gas.
