#18.37 Balance each of the following redox reactions occurring
in acidic aqueous solution.
A) Cd(s)+Cu+(aq)→Cd2+(aq)+Cu(s)
B) I−(aq)+SO42−(aq)→H2SO3(aq)+I2(s)

following oxidation/reduction reactions. Identify the oxidizing
agent and the reducing agent in each reaction.
a. ??(?) + ??3 - (??) →
??2+ (??) + ??(?)
b. ??2?72-(??) +
??-(??) → ??3+(??) + ??2 (?)
c. ??22+(??) + ??(?) → ?4+(??)
+ ???42-
d. ??2 (??) → ???3-(??) +
??-(??)
