Find the sum of the coefficients “a,b,candd”“a, b, candd”,
in the given balanced chemical reaction, IO3−+aI−+bH+→cH2O+dI2I{O}_{3}^{-} + a{I}^{-} + b{H}^{+} \to c{H}_{2}O + d{I}_{2}

Correct answer

17

Step-by-step solution

IO3–+aI–+bH+→cH2O+dI2I{{O}_{3}}^{–} + a{I}^{–} + b{H}^{+} \to c{H}_{2}O + d{I}_{2}

Step 1: I–1→I2(oxidation)<br/><br/>{I}^{– 1} \to {I}_{2}\left(oxidation\right)<br /><br />I{{O}_{3}}^{–} \to {I}_{2}\left(reduction\right)<br/><br/>Step2:<br /><br />Step 2:2I{{O}_{3}}^{–} + 12{H}^{+} \to {I}_{2} + 6{H}_{2}O<br/><br/>Step3:<br /><br />Step 3:2I{{O}_{3}}^{–} + 12{H}^{+} + 10e \to {I}_{2} + 6{H}_{2}O<br/><br/><br /><br />2{{I}^{–}}_{} \to {I}_{2} + 2e<br/><br/>Step4:<br /><br />Step 4:2I{{O}_{3}}^{–} + 12{H}^{+} + 10{e}^{–} \to {I}_{2} + 6{H}_{2}O<br/><br/>[2I–→I2+2e]5<br /><br />\left[2{I}^{–} \to {I}_{2} + 2e\right]5

Step 5: 2IO3–+10I–+12H+→6I2+6H2O2I{{O}_{3}}^{–} + 10{I}^{–} + 12{H}^{+} \to 6{I}_{2} + 6{H}_{2}O

IO3–+5I–+6H+→3I2+3H2OI{{O}_{3}}^{–} + 5{I}^{–} + 6{H}^{+} \to 3{I}_{2} + 3{H}_{2}O

On comparing, a=5,b=6,c=3,d=3a = 5, b = 6, c = 3, d = 3
