Answer:
I₂ + H₂O --------→ HI + HIO
Step-by-step explanation:
Iodine is not fully dissolve in water but only dissolve up to some extent.
When iodine was mixed with water it give mixture of two products.
- Hydrogen iodide or hydroiodic acid (HI)
- Hypoiodous acid (HIO)
So the balance reaction is as under
I₂ + H₂O --------→ HI + HIO
All the reactant are one mole and one one mole of each product produced in the shown reaction.
This is a reversible reaction and only 0.05% of Iodine molecule react with water and the other Iodine molecule remain in water unreacted.
