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)
