Balance the following equation in basic media
CLO3 (-1) +I (-1) --------->CLO2 +I2

please i need the final answer too
Answered by DrBob222
ClO3^- + 2I^- ==> I2 + ClO2
Cl changes from +5 to +4. 2I changes from -2 (for both) to 0.
Now what don't you understand?

Answered by DrBob222
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
