Solution

The correct option is C 7, 3, 6
Steps for Balancing redox reactions:
  1. Identify the oxidation and reduction half .
  2. Find the oxidising and reducing agent.
  3. Find the n-factor of oxidising and reducing agent.
  4. Balance atom undergoing oxidation and reduction.
  5. Cross multiply the oxidising or reducing agent with simplified n-factor values.
  6. Balance atoms other than oxygen and hydrogen.
  7. Balancing oxygen atoms
  8. Balancing hydrogen atoms
  9. Balance charge
For acidic medium:
As soon as we add x H2O units, we add 2x H+ ions on the opposite side.

nf=(|O.S.ProductO.S.Reactant|×number of atom
+5IO3(aq)+0Rd(s)+7RdO4(aq)+1I(aq)

0Rd(s)+7RdO4(aq)+ oxidation
nf=(|70|×1=7
+5IO3(aq)1I(aq) reduction
nf=(|15|×1=6
Rd is reducing agent
IO3 is oxidising agent.

Balance atom undergoing oxidation and reduction.
Already balanced
IO3(aq)+Rd(s)RdO4(aq)+I(aq)


Cross mutiply the oxidising or reducing agent with n-factor.
7IO3(aq)+6Rd(s)6RdO4(aq)+7I(aq)

Balance atoms oxygen.
7IO3(aq)+6Rd(s)+3H2O6RdO4(aq)+7I(aq)

Balance hydrogen.
7IO3(aq)+6Rd(s)+3H2O6RdO4(aq)+7I(aq)+6H+

balance charge
charge in reactant side = -7
charge in product side = -7
so the balanced equation is 7IO3(aq)+6Rd(s)+3H2O6RdO4(aq)+7I(aq)+6H+
