Interpretation: The given
Concept Introduction: In a redox reaction, oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. Here, the oxidation number change method can be used to balance the chemical equation. In oxidation, an increase in oxidation number takes place and in reduction, a decrease in oxidation number takes place.
(a)
Explanation of Solution
To balance a redox reaction, the oxidation number change method can be used. Give the oxidation number of atoms as follows:
Here, Br undergoes reduction as well as oxidation. The increase in oxidation number is from 0 to +5 and the decrease in oxidation number is from 0 to -1.
To make the increase in oxidation number and decrease in oxidation number equal, give coefficient 5 to
Now to balance the number of Br atoms, gives coefficient 3 to
In the last step, give coefficient 3 to
The above equation is a balanced chemical equation.
(b)
Interpretation: The given redox reaction needs to be balanced.

(b)
Explanation of Solution
To balance a redox reaction, the oxidation number change method can be used. Give the oxidation number of atoms as follows:
In the above redox reaction, oxidation of H and reduction of Fe takes place. The change in oxidation state takes place from +3 to 0 for Fe and 0 to +1 for H.
To make the change in oxidation state equal, give coefficient 3 to both
Now, give coefficient 2 to
Thus, the above reaction is balanced.
