Question

For the reaction : `I^(-)+ClO_(3)^(-)+H_(2)SO_(4) to Cl^(-)+HSO_(4)^(-)+I_(2)`
The correct statement(s) in the balanced equation is/are:
A. Stoichiometric coefficient of `HSO_(4)^(-)` is 6
B. Iodide is oxidized
C. Sulphur is reduced
D. `H_(2)O` is one og the products

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A::B::D
`6l^(-) + ClO_(3)^(-) + 6H_(2)SO_(4) rarr Cl^(-) + 6HSO_(4)^(-) + 3I_(2) + 3H_(2)O`
Hence, `I^(-)` is oxidised to `I_(2)`
Coefficient of `HSO_(4)^(-) =6`
and `H_(2)O` is one of the product
