Iodination of alkanes is a reversible reaction and therefore it is carried out with oxidising agents like

H I O_{3} a n d H N O_{3}

which combine with HI so that the reaction goes in forward direction.

Iodination of alkanes is a reversible reaction and therefore it is carried out with oxidising agents like HIO3andHNO3 which combine with HI so that the reaction goes in forward direction.HIO3+5HI⟶3I2+3H2OCH4+I2⇌CH3I+HI

Iodination of alkanes is a reversible reaction and therefore it is carried out with oxidising agents like $H I O_{3} a n d H N O_{3}$ which combine with HI so that the reaction goes in forward direction.
$H I O_{3} + 5 H I ⟶ 3 I_{2} + 3 H_{2} O$
$C H_{4} + I_{2} ⇌ C H_{3} I + H I$
