Answer: The oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

Explanation:

Oxidation state is the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

For the given chemical compound: $Mg(IO_3)_2$

We take the oxidation state of iodine atom be 'x'

Oxidation state of magnesium atom = +2

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iodine atom:

$+2+2x+6(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as
Mg(IO3)2
MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
(+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
2 + 2I - 12 =0
10+ 2I =0
10 = 2I
I =5

Answer:

The time taken for the cross mark to disappear decreases steadily down the column.

Explanation:

Now if we look at the data provided, we will discover that the volume of the HCl was held constant while the volume of the thiosulphate was increased steadily and the volume of water decreased steadily.

Recall that a system is more concentrated when it contains less volume of water and more volume of reactants. Hence as the volume of water in the system is being reduced, the concentration of reactants is increased.

It has been established that an increase in the concentration of reactants lead to an increase in the rate of reaction. The disappearance of the cross shows the completion of the reaction between HCl and thiosulphate. The faster or slower the cross disappears, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.

Since increase in concentration of reactants increases the rate of reaction, it is observed that as the volume of the thiosulphate increases (reactant concentration increases) the cross disappears faster (rate of reactant increases). Hence as the volume of thiosulphate increases, it takes a shorter time for the cross to disappear. This implies that the time column in the table (refer to the question) will decrease steadily as the volume of thiosulphate increases.
