Answer»

Solution :(a)
Balance by oxidation number.
`6Fe^(+2)+H^(+)+Cr_(2)O_(7)^(-2)to2Cr^(+3)+6Fe^(+3)+H_(2)O`
Balance charges.
`6Fe^(+2)+14H^(+)+Cr_(2)O_(7)^(-2)to2Cr^(+3)+6Fe^(+3)+H_(2)O`
Balance O and H.
`6Fe^(+2)+14H^(+)+Cr_(2)O_(7)^(-2)to2Cr^(+3)+6Fe^(+3)+7H_(2)O`
(B) `I_(2)+NO_(3)^(-)toNO_(2)+IO_(3)^(-)`

Balance by oxidation no.
`I_(2)+10NO_(3)^(-)to10NO_(2)+2IO_(3)^(-)`
Balance charges.
`I_(2)+10NO_(3)^(-)+8H^(+)to10NO_(2)+2IO_(3)^(-)`
Balance H and O.
`I_(2)+10NO_(3)^(-)+8H^(+)to10NO_(2)+2IO_(3)^(-)+4H_(2)O`
( c) `I_(2)+S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)toI^(-)+S_(4)O_(6)^(-2)`

`I_(2)+2S_(2)O_(3)^(-2)to2I^(-)+S_(4)O_(6)^(-2)`
(d) `MnO_(2)+C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)toMn^(+2)+CO_(2)`

`MnO_(2)+C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)+4H^(+)toMn^(+2)+2CO_(2)`
`MnO_(2)+C_(2)O_(4)^(-2)+4H^(+)toMn^(+2)+2CO_(2)+2H_(2)O`
