Question

REDOX!
balance the following redox equation using the half-reaction method: HIO3 + I^- -> I3^- (acid)

Answer 1

I'm going to list out the steps to balance a redox reaction with the half reaction method. If you follow them carefully you should have your answer! If you're having trouble let me know.

1. Identify the oxidation and the reduction reactions by looking at how the oxidation states of each element changes. The oxidation is one half reaction and the reduction is the other.

2. Balance the half reactions. For now, focus on balancing all atoms that are NOT H's or O's (these will come later).

3. Balance O atoms by adding H2O to the side that needs more O. For an acidic solution, balance H atoms by adding H+ to the side that needs more H.

4. Balance charge by adding the appropriate number of electrons to the appropriate side of each half reaction. Multiply one or both half reactions by whatever factor you need so that there are the same number of electrons being transferred in each.

5. Recombine the two half reactions into one big reaction, cancelling any species that appear on both sides. Once finished, the reaction you're left with is your answer!

Answer 3

Go to this likn , i found the answer to ur question .
And listem in acidic medium , we use H+ to balance hydrogen and H2O to balance oxygen .
Hope this helps
