Iodate ion, IO3− oxidises SO32− to SO42− in acidic medium. If 100 mL sample of solution containing 2.14 g of KIO3 reacts with 60 mL of 0.5M Na2SO3 solution, then final oxidation state of iodine is:

Solution
The correct option is D -1 Oxidation state of I in KIO3=+5. S in SO32−=+4 S in SO42−=+6 IO3−(+5)+SO32−→SO42−(+6)+Ix x<5 Equivalent of SO32−=60×0.5×21000=0.06. Equivalent IO3−=(5−x)×2.14214=(5−x)0.01. Now, (5−x)0.01=0.06 5−x=6;x=−1
