The iodine "clock reaction" involves the following sequence of reactions occurring in a reaction mixture in a single beaker.
1) IO3-(aq) + 5I-(aq) + 6H+(aq) 3I2(aq) + 3H2O(l)
2) I2(aq) + 2S2O32-(aq) 2I-(aq) + S4O62-(aq)
The molecular iodine (I2) formed in reaction 1 is immediately used up in reaction 2, so that no iodine accumulates. What is the overall reaction occurring in this experiment?
A) IO3-(aq) + 3I-(aq) + 2S2O32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) 2I2(aq) + S4O62-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
B) IO3-(aq) + 4S2O32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) I-(aq) + 2S4O62-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
C) IO3-(aq) + 6S2O32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) I-(aq) + 3S4O62-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
D) IO3-(aq) + I2(aq) + 8S2O32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) 3I-(aq) + 4S4O62-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
E) IO3-(aq) + 2I2(aq) + 6S2O32-(aq) + 6H+(aq) 5I-(aq) + 3S4O62-(aq) + 3H2O(l)
