half reactions are:
ClO2 + 5e- ----> Cl-
ClO2 --->ClO3- + 1
e-
adding afcter balancing number of electron
6ClO2 (aq) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Balance Oxygen:
6ClO2 (aq) +3H2O (l) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq)
Balance H
6ClO2 (aq) +3H2O (l) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + 6H+(aq)
multiply both sides by 6 OH-
6ClO2 (aq) +3H2O (l) + 6OH-(aq) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + 6H+(aq) + 6OH-(aq)
6ClO2 (aq) +3H2O (l) + 6OH-(aq) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + 6H2O (l)
6ClO2 (aq) + 6OH-(aq) ----> 5ClO3- (aq) + Cl- (aq) + 3H2O (l)
