Answer:

d. 6

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

I₂ + Cl₂ + H₂O   →    HIO₃ + HCl

Balanced chemical equation:

I₂ + 5Cl₂ + 6H₂O   →   2HIO₃ + 10HCl

Step 1:

I₂ + Cl₂ + H₂O   →    HIO₃ + HCl

Reactant                                         Product

I  =  2                                                I = 1  

Cl = 2                                              Cl = 1

H = 2                                                H = 2

O = 1                                                 O = 2

Step 2:

I₂ + Cl₂ + H₂O   →  2 HIO₃ + HCl

Reactant                                         Product

I  =  2                                                I = 2

Cl = 2                                              Cl = 1

H = 2                                                H = 3

O = 1                                                 O = 6

Step 3:

I₂ + Cl₂ + 6H₂O   →  2 HIO₃ + HCl

Reactant                                         Product

I  =  2                                               I = 2

Cl = 2                                              Cl = 1

H = 12                                              H = 3

O = 6                                                O = 6

Step 4:

I₂ + Cl₂ + 6H₂O   →  2HIO₃ + 10HCl

Reactant                                         Product

I  =  2                                               I = 2

Cl = 2                                              Cl = 10

H = 12                                              H = 12

O = 6                                                O = 6

Step 5:

I₂ + 5Cl₂ + 6H₂O   →  2HIO₃ + 10HCl

Reactant                                         Product

I  =  2                                               I = 2

Cl = 10                                             Cl = 10

H = 12                                              H = 12

O = 6                                                O = 6
