In an acid solution using the half-reaction method balance the 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-(??) + ??-(??)
