, should hit in eye that total electric charges left have to equal those right (charges somehow make things more obvious although the principle is not really different from anything without charges).That's half the first step, can you complete it and write a reasonable reaction balance that makes sense? Never mind the question options, see what I said about them.ChloeYip said:

The reaction coefficient is a number that represents the relative amount of a substance involved in a chemical reaction. It is used to balance the equation and determine the stoichiometry of the reaction.
Reaction coefficients can be determined by using the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The coefficients are adjusted to ensure that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
The reaction coefficient of 2IO3- means that two molecules of IO3- are involved in the reaction and will produce two molecules of I2. This helps to balance the equation and determine the correct ratio of reactants and products.
The coefficients of H2O2 and H+ determine the amount of these substances needed for the reaction to occur. If the coefficients are too low, the reaction may not proceed as desired. If they are too high, there may be excess reactants that will not be used up in the reaction.
Yes, reaction coefficients can change during a reaction. This can happen if one of the reactants or products is a gas and escapes from the reaction mixture, or if the reaction conditions (such as temperature or pressure) change. However, the coefficients will always be adjusted to maintain the same ratio of atoms on both sides of the equation.
