Question

An aqueous solution of KIO3 and KI on mixing undergoes redox process to give I2. The reaction occurs quantitatively and can be used to estimate the conc. of KIO3. The iodine liberated in the reaction can be estimated by using hypo solution and starch as indicator.
If x millimoles of KIO3 react completely with y millimoles of KI, then which of the following are correct?

A
x>y

Solution

The correct options are
B y>x
D y=5x
Balanced redox reaction between KIO3 and KI is as follows:
6HCl+KIO3+5KI3I2+3H2O+16KCl
Generally, 5 moles of KI (y) reacts with 1 mole of KIO3 (x).
It means y>x and y should be 5 times of x.
Hence, options B and D are correct.
