Redox Reactions And Electrochemistry Ques 549

Question: In the balanced chemical reaction, IO3+a I+b H+c H2O+d I2 a, b, c and d respectively correspond to [AIIMS 2005]

Options:

A) 5, 6, 3, 3

B) 5, 3, 6, 3

C) 3, 5, 3, 6

D) 5, 6, 5, 5

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

IO3+aI+bH+cH2O+dI2

Step1:I1I2(oxidation) IO3I2(reduction)

Step2:2IO3+12H+I2+6H2O

Step3:2IO3+12H++10eI2+6H2O 2II2+2e

Step4:2IO3+12H++10eI2+6H2O [2II2+2e]5

Step5:2IO3+10I+12H+6I2+6H2O

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

On comparing, a = 5, b = 6, c = 3, d = 3
