Predict the results of the following

[lioric]

Homework Statement

Predict the results of the following and explain them with the help of standard electrode potentials
a) Acidified potassium iodate(V) solution is added to potassium iodide solution
b)Zinc metal is added to solution of dilute sulphuric acid

Homework Equations

Writing half equations for the reactions. But i actually don't know the result of the addition

The Attempt at a Solution

All i know is that i have to think about the reactivity series and think that something would displace something. But i actually cannot get the hang of the subject yet. please some ome explain this to me

... also in the context of "electrode potentials".
You will have recent notes on this - a chapter in your textbooks as well.
It can help to look them up to find some examples to follow. i.e.
