Consider the following unbalanced redox reaction:
3H20 + l2 - l03
How many hydrogen ions are needed for balancing?
PLEASE HELP

Answer:

Two

Explanation:

I believe your unbalanced equation should be

H₂O₂ + I₂ ⟶ IO₃⁻

The half-reactions and the overall reaction are:

5 × [H₂O₂ + 2H⁺ +2e⁻ ⟶ 2H₂O]

1 × [ I₂ + 6H₂O ⟶ 2IO₃⁻ + 12H⁺ + 10e⁻]

      5H₂O₂ + I₂ ⟶ 2IO₃⁻ + 2H⁺ + 4H₂O

The reaction needs two hydrogen ions for balancing.
