Detailed Solution

Iodine has a large size and easily loose its valence electrons. Therefore, iodin acts as a strong oxidizing agent. In the first reaction, NaOH reacts with iodine to form NaI and NaIO3 which causes the decolorization of iodine.

3I2  + 6NaOH  5NaI +NaIO3 + 3H2O

In the second reaction, Na2S2O3 forms sodium iodide when reacts with iodine and cause the decolorization of iodine.

I2 + 2Na2S2O3  2NaI + Na2S4O6

 In the third rection, the nitric acid form HIO3 with iodine and causes decolorization.

10HNO3  + I2  2HIO3 + 10NO2 + 4 H2O

 Therefore, all given reactions cause the decolorization of iodine.
