Which of the reactions show's $HIO_2$ accepting $H^+$?

anonymous · Answer

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

aaronq · Answer

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

aaronq · Answer

it's easier to see when it's neat.

$HIO_2 + H_3O^+ \rightarrow  H_2IO_2^+ + H_2O$
