i'm having trouble balancing the redox reaction for the iodine clock lab. The redox reaction inovlves a hydrogen sulfite ion and iodate ion in an acidified solution. i have the final balanced equation, 5 HSO3 + 2 IO3 ---> I2 + 5SO4 + H20 + 3H but i'm having trouble figuring out some of the steps to get this equation.
