  1. I2  & 10 electrons taken --> 2 (IO3)-

    (ClO3)- -> Cl-  & 6 electrons lost

    =======================

    balance electrons:

    3 I2  & 30 electrons taken --> 6 (IO3)-

    5(ClO3)- ->5 Cl-  & 30 electrons lost

    ==============================

    Your answer is:30 electrons

    ===============================

    3 I2 & 5 (ClO3)-  & 3 H2O -> 6 (IO3)- & 5 Cl-  & 6 H+
