The reaction between Concentrated Nitric acid and iodine involves oxidation of iodine.
The equation is given below:
10HNO₃ + I₂ -----------> 2HIO₃ + 10HO₂ + 4H₂O
Concentrated Nitric acid oxidizes Iodine to form HIO₃
The oxidation power of Nitric acid will always depend on its concentration.
With dilute Nitric acid the gas evolved would have been NO.
Since it is concentrated NO₂ is evolved.
The answer to our question is therefore :
HIO₃
