(2) Balance the following reaction assuming it occurs in an acidic medium, and enter the proper coefficients in the blank spaces.

HNO2 + I-1 ---> NO + I2


(3) Balance the following reaction assuming it occurs in an basic medium, and enter the proper coefficients in the blank spaces.

S-2 + I2 ---> SO4-2 + I-1


(4) Balance the following reaction assuming it occurs in an basic medium, and enter the proper coefficients in the blank spaces.
