A. HIO2 + OH– IO2– + H2O
B. HIO2 + NaOH NaIO2 + H2O

Answer 2

Which of the reactions show's \(HIO_2\) accepting \(H^+\)?

Answer 3

shoot I just answered this question with my answer and got it wrong :/

Answer 4

It's C. HIO2 + H3O+ H2IO2+ + H2O

Answer 5

it's easier to see when it's neat.

\(HIO_2 + H_3O^+ \rightarrow H_2IO_2^+ + H_2O\)
