While i- is added to io3- under acidic conditions i2 is


While I- is added to IO3- under acidic conditions, I2 is produced and the solution becomes a brown/yellow color. The net ionic reaction is illustrated below.

IO3- (aq) + 5I- (aq) + 6H+ ---> 3I2 (aq) + 3 H2O

a. Explain what is the odication state of iodine in IO3-

b. Explain what is the oxidation state of I-?

c. Explain what is the oxidation state of I2?

d. Explain what species is undergoing oxidation in this reaction?

e. Explain what species is undergoing reduction in this reaction?

f. Explain what is the oxidizing and reducing agents in this reaction?
