Step-by-Step Verified Solution

I−→H+I2I−→OH−IO3−\mathrm{I}^{-} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+}} \mathrm{I}_2\qquad \mathrm{I}^{-} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \mathrm{IO}_3^{-}

S−2→H+SS2O32−→OH−SO42−\mathrm{S}^{-2} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+}} \mathrm{S} \quad \mathrm{S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3^{2-} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{OH}^{-}} \mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}

amp;Fe+2⟶Fe+3amp; S2O32−→H+S↓+SO42−\begin{aligned}& \mathrm{Fe}^{+2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{Fe}^{+3} \\& \mathrm{~S}_2 \mathrm{O}_3^{2-} \xrightarrow{\mathrm{H}^{+}} \mathrm{S} \downarrow+\mathrm{SO}_4^{2-}\end{aligned}
