QUESTION:

Consider the following redox reaction:

\(\mathrm{IO}_4^-(aq)+2\mathrm{I}^-(aq)+\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(l)\ \longrightarrow\mathrm{\ I}_2(s)+\mathrm{IO}_3^-(aq)+2\mathrm{OH}^-(aq)\)

When \(\mathrm{KIO}_{4}\) is added to a solution containing iodide ions labeled with radioactive iodine-128, all the radioactivity appears in \(\mathrm{I}_{2}\) and none in the \(\mathrm{IO}_{3}^{-}\) ion. What can you deduce about the mechanism for the redox process?
