Solution

The correct option is D M6
IO3+3HSO3I+3H++3SO24
Oxidation state of I in IO3x6=1
x=+5
Oxidation state of I in I1
Thus I is getting reduced from +5 to 1
Therefore NaIO3 is an oxidant or oxidising agent. Change is oxidation state per I is +6
1 mole of I is absorbing 6e
Equivalent mass= Molar massnf=M6
