Answer:

Explanation:
The I₂ is the common substance in the two equations.
(1) IO₃⁻ + 5I⁻ + 6H⁺ ⟶ 3I₂ + 3H₂O
{2) I₂ + 2S₂O₃²⁻ ⟶ 2I⁻ + S₄O₆²⁻
From Equation (1), the molar ratio of iodate to iodine is

From Equation (2), the molar ratio of iodine to thiosulfate is

Combining the two ratios, we get

Answer:
pH = 8.1
Explanation:
Assuming that we are at 25 degrees Celsius, pH + pOH = 14.
We can then plug in the given pOH and solve for pH:
pH + pOH = 14
pH + 5.9 = 14
pH = 14 - 5.9 = 8.1
1. Subscript is below
2. Coefficient large 2 indicates the number of moles
3. Atoms
1/2 O2 + H2 —> H2O
It’s the atoms that balance on each side
Notes that 1/2 is the coefficient and 2 is the subscript in H2 and H2O
