<P> More autocatalysis when newly generated iodous acid also converts chlorate in the fastest reaction step: </P> <Dl> <Dd> ClO + HIO → IO + HClO </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> ClO + HIO → IO + HClO </Dd> <P> In this clock the induction period is the time it takes for autocatalytic process to start after which the concentration of free iodine falls rapidly as observed by UV / VIS spectroscopy . </P>

What is the type of reaction that produces iodine from iodate and iodide
