Balance the following redox equations using the specified method. Show all your work clearly.
1. Balance the following redox reaction in acidic solution using the oxidation number method:
Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + C₂H₅OH(l) → Cr³⁺(aq) + CO₂(g)
2. Balance the following redox reaction in basic solution using the half-reaction method:
MnO₄⁻(aq) + I⁻(aq) → MnO₂(s) + I₂(s)
3. In the reaction Fe²⁺ + MnO₄⁻ → Fe³⁺ + Mn²⁺ (acidic), what is the coefficient for H₂O when the equation is balanced?
