The correct option is D 2SbCl3+KlO3+6HCl→2SbCl5+ICl+3H2O+KCl
The unbalanced redox equation is as follows:
SbCl3+KIO3+HCl→SbCl5+ICl+H2O+KCl
Balance all atoms other than H and O.
SbCl3+KIO3+4HCl→SbCl5+ICl+H2O+KCl
The oxidation number of Sb changes from 3 to 5. The change in the oxidation number of Sb is 2.
The oxidation number of I changes from 5 to 1. The change in the oxidation number of I is 4.
The increase in the oxidation number is balanced with decrease in the oxidation number by multiplying
SbCl3 and SbCl5 with 2. Also balance Cl atoms.
2SbCl3+KIO3+6HCl→2SbCl5+ICl+H2O+KCl
O atoms are balanced by adding 2 water molecules on RHS.
2SbCl3+KIO3+6HCl→2SbCl5+ICl+2H2O+KCl
Hydrogen atoms are balanced.
2SbCl3+KIO3+6HCl→2SbCl5+ICl+3H2O+KCl
This is the balanced chemical equation.
