Balance the ionic equation for acidic conditions. Identify the oxidizing and reducing agents. Sorry, not sure how to subscript.

Problly the air, if so then... 3I^(3-) + 2O --> 2IO^(3-) + 3I^(-) However this is my first time doing ionic balancing so its really just a guess.

I doubt it comes from air, though it is possible. In my (admittedly small) experience with these the experiment is done aqueously: in water. -Dan
