Answer:
It has been balanced by using the half-reaction method.
Explanation:
I- and IO3- gives I2
We divide the reaction into two half-reactions
(2 I- >> I2 + 2e-) x5 ( oxidation : I goes from -1 to 0 )
2 IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O ( reduction : I goes from +5 to 0 )
10 I- >> 5I2 + 10e-
2IO3- + 12H+ + 10e- >> I2 + 6H2O
-----------------------------------------------------
10 I- + 2IO3- + 12H+ >> 6I2 + 6H2O
To get the smallest numbers we divide by 2 :
5 I- + IO3- + 6H+ >> 3I2 + 3H2O
A volatile acid is an acid that can leave solution and enter the atmosphere.
A flood, if it hits the environment of the natural rubbers, would destroy how the rubber is being produced. to have a large amount of limitation, the flood would destroy a large percentage of rubber trees. This natural rubber is needed to make synthetic polymers. Without the rubber (because of damages to it's ecosystem through the flood), there would be a limited supply, and a substancial drop on synthetic polymers.
hope this helps
