For the reaction: I - + C l O 3 - + H 2 S O 4 → C l - + H S O 4 - + I 2   The correct…

For the reaction:
I-+ClO3-+H2SO4Cl-+HSO4-+I2 
The correct statement(s) in the balanced equation is/are:
  1. Stoichiometric coefficient of HSO4- is 6.
  2. Iodide is oxidized.
  3. Sulphur is reduced.
  4. H2O is one of the products.

Solution

The balanced equation is,
ClO3-+6I-+6H2SO43I2+Cl-+6HSO4-+3H2O

Here, in this reaction,

HSO4- is in one of the products, and by balancing the reaction, we get its stiochiometric coefficient as 6.

Oxidation number of iodine in reactant side is -1 and it is oxidised to  I2 with 0 oxidation number in product side.
