Balance both equations by the half-cell method, showing both half-cell reactions identifying them as oxidation or reduction.
a. Cl2(g)+ OH- <--> Cl- + ClO3- + H20(l)
Assuming that this reaction is in a basic medium, it is balanced as follows:
You must first balance non hydrogen and non oxygen atoms. Then balance oxygens by adding H2O and balance H by adding H+. Then we add the same number of OH- ions to each ...
