Question

Good day! I have a question regarding redox reaction balancing! Do I still need to include the (s), (l), (g), (aq) in my final balanced equation?  I will attach the picture of the example here.

  In letter b, the balanced reaction in acidic medium is I2 + H2S ---> 2I-+S+2H+. 

Should I place (s) in S? 

For instance, I2 + H2S ---> 2I-+S (s) +2H+.  

Which is the correct answer?

(b).
Balanced oxidation-half is:
H₂S-
----> S + 2H+ + 2e¯
Balanced reduction-half is:
1₂ +2e
--> 21¯
Add both the equations.
So,
Balanced reaction in acidic medium is :
12 + H₂S
--> 21¯ + S + 2H+
Oxidizing agent is the agent which undergoes
reduction. Therefore, oxidizing agent = 1₂
Reducing agent is the agent which undergoes
oxidation. Therefore, reducing agent = H₂S

Write balanced redox equations for the following
reactions. Show the full balancing process and supply H+
and/or H2O as needed to obtain balance. Item g is
balanced in basic medium while the rest are in acidic
medium. Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing
agent on the left side of each equation in the previous
problem.
