oxidation states as level help

Im really confused with these thing so would appreciate any help.
Basically for all the equations i have to work out half equations, and im really struggling. And hints to help me out would really be appreciated, since my teacher wouldn't help me when i asked her today.
() = subscript

a) 2H(2)0 + 2F(2) -> 4HF + 0(2)
b) 2ClO(3)^- -> 2Cl^- + 3O(2)
c) 2Br^- + 2H^+ + H(2)SO(4) -> Br(2) + SO(2) + 2H(2)O

I think this is right:redface:

a) water into H ions

Spoiler


NOW balance the charge so

and the 2F2 into F ions

confirm they are right..combine the two

2H20 + 2f2 -> 02 + 4H+ + 4f-
was that your original equation?
I think !
If I'm wrong someone can kindly correct:yep::redface:

Maybe you could work out the others from that? If not I could give it a go!:O
