Solution
The correct option is D 53.5 The balanced redox equation is C6H8O6+IO−3+H++Cl−⇌C6H6O6+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
