The reaction below was carried out in an acidic solution. Upper I minus, plus upper I upper O minus subscript 3 right arrow upper I subscript 2. Which statement is true about this equation?

It has been balanced by using the half-reaction method.

Explanation:

I- and IO3- gives I2

We divide the reaction into two half-reactions

(2 I- >> I2 + 2e-) x5 ( oxidation  : I goes from -1 to 0 )

2 IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O ( reduction : I goes from +5 to 0 )

10 I- >> 5I2 + 10e-

2IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O

10 I- + 2IO3- + 12H+ >> 6I2 + 6H2O

To get the smallest numbers we divide by 2 :

5 I- + IO3- + 6H+ >> 3I2 + 3H2O

It has been balanced by using the half-reaction method.

Explanation:

edge :

it should be all of them because it asks if you included all of those in your answer
