Question

Find out the species which undergoes for oxidation,reduction.Also find oxidising agent and reducing agent.

(1) I- (aq) + IO3- (aq) + H+ (aq) --> I2 (aq) + H2O (l)

(2) I- (aq) + O2 (g) + H2O (l) --> I2 (aq) + OH- (aq)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

in 1st question I- acts as reducing agent and thus undergoes oxidation.

and IO3- acts as oxidizing agent and thus undergoes reduction

in 2 nd question I- acts as reducing agent nd thus undergoes oxidation
