Question #5ae58

Answer 1

`5I^- "(aq)` + `IO_3^-"(aq)` + `6H^+"(aq)` => `3I_2"(aq)` + `3H_2O(l)`

Explanation:

Reasonably strong oxidizing agents will convert halogens to their basic standard states; that is

`I^-"(aq)` + `IO_3^-"(aq)` => `I_2"(aq)`

To balance this equation, I would recommend the "Oxidation Number Method' in an acidic medium.
