### Balancing Redox Reactions Using the Half-Reaction Method

#### Exercise 1: Balance the following equation using the half-reaction method:

**Equation:**

\[ \text{AsO}_4^{3-} + \text{NO}_2^- \rightarrow \text{AsO}_2^- + \text{NO}_3^- \]

*Note: This reaction takes place in a basic medium.*

---

#### Steps:

a. Write the equation and identify the participating species.
   - \[ \text{AsO}_4^{3-} + \text{NO}_2^- \rightarrow \text{AsO}_2^- + \text{NO}_3^- \] 
   
---

b. Identify which element is reduced. **Show the change in electrons.**

---

c. Identify which element is oxidized. **Show the change in electrons.**
