**Balancing Redox Reactions in Acidic Solutions****Problem:**Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution:\[ \text{ClO}_3^- (\text{aq}) + \text{Cl}^- (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 (\text{aq}) \]**Explanation:**In redox reactions, the number of electrons lost in oxidation must equal the number of electrons gained in reduction. Here’s how to balance this reaction in an acidic solution:1. **Separate the reaction into two half-reactions:** - **Reduction Half-Reaction:** \[ \text{ClO}_3^- \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 \] - **Oxidation Half-Reaction:** \[ \text{Cl}^- \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 \]2. **Balance each half-reaction for mass and charge:** - **Reduction Half-Reaction:** Identify the oxidation state changes and balance electrons. \[ \text{ClO}_3^- + 6\text{H}^+ + 6\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} \] - **Oxidation Half-Reaction:** \[ 2\text{Cl}^- \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 + 2\text{e}^- \]3. **Combine the balanced half-reactions:** Ensure that the electrons cancel each other out. Multiply the oxidation half-reaction by 3 and add to the reduction half-reaction: \[ \begin{align*} &\text{Reduction: } \text{ClO}_3^- + 6\text{H}^+ + 6\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2 + 3\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ &\text{Oxidation: } 6\text{Cl}^- \rightarrow 3\text{Cl}_2 + 6\text{e}^- \\ &\text{Overall: } \text{ClO}_3^- + 6\text{Cl}^- + 6\text{H}^+ \rightarrow 3\text{Cl}_2 +
