Balance the following equation in basic media

CLO3 (-1) +I (-1) --------->CLO2 +I2

please i need the final answer too

4 answers

ClO3^- + 2I^- ==> I2 + ClO2
Cl changes from +5 to +4. 2I changes from -2 (for both) to 0.
Now what don't you understand?
ok thnx that's clear but
where do we add OH ?
If you follow the proper procedure for balancing redox equations, the OH^- adds to the appropriate side. http://www.chemteam.info/Redox/Balance-HalfReactions-Base.html
everything's clear now ..thanks alot for helping ..
