Answer : The balanced chemical reaction will be,


I_2+2Na_2S_2O_3\rightarrow 2NaI+Na_2S_4O_6

Explanation :

Balanced chemical reaction : It is defined as the number of atoms of individual elements present on reactant side must be equal to the product side.

The given unbalanced chemical reaction is,


I_2+Na_2S_2O_3\rightarrow NaI+Na_2S_4O_6

This chemical reaction is an unbalanced reaction because in this reaction, the number of atoms of iodine, sulfur and oxygen are not balanced.

In order to balanced the chemical reaction, the coefficient 2 is put before the
NaI and
Na_2S_2O_3.

Thus, the balanced chemical reaction will be,


I_2+2Na_2S_2O_3\rightarrow 2NaI+Na_2S_4O_6
