Transcribed Image Text:**Exercises: Balancing Oxidation-Reduction Equations**
In this section, similar exercises are paired.
**29.** Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions that occur in acidic solutions using the half-reaction method.
a. \( \text{I}^- (aq) + \text{ClO}^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{I}_2 (aq) + \text{Cl}^- (aq) \)
b. \( \text{AsO}_3^{3-} (s) + \text{NO}_3^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{H}_3\text{AsO}_4 (aq) + \text{NO} (g) \)
c. \( \text{Br}^- (aq) + \text{MnO}_4^- (aq) \rightarrow \text{Br}_2 (l) + \text{Mn}^{2+} (aq) \)
d. \( \text{CH}_3\text{OH} (aq) + \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} (aq) \rightarrow \text{CH}_2\text{O} (aq) + \text{Cr}^{3+} (aq) \)
**Instructions for Balancing:**
1. Identify the oxidation and reduction half-reactions.
2. Balance all elements except hydrogen and oxygen.
3. Balance oxygen using \( \text{H}_2\text{O} \).
4. Balance hydrogen using \( \text{H}^+ \).
5. Balance charges using electrons.
6. Multiply half-reactions to equalize electron transfer.
7. Add the half-reactions to give the balanced redox equation.
8. Verify that mass and charge are balanced.
