Solution

The correct option is D 53.5
The balanced redox equation is C6H8O6+IO3+H++ClC6H6O6+ICl+2H2O
The oxidation number of iodine changes from +5 to +1.
The change in the oxidation number is 4.
The molar mass of KIO3 is 39.1+126.9+3(16)=214g/mol
The equivalent mass of KIO3 is Molar massChange in the oxidation number=2144=53.5
