Explanation:

a) oxidation states :

⇒ Zn: 0 → 2+ : lose 2e-

⇒ N : +6 → 0 : win 6e-

half reaction:

⇒ ( 1 ) Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-

⇒ ( 2 ) 2NO3 + 12H+ 12e- → N2 + 6H2OThe O are balanced with H2O and the H with H +, then balanced the charges with e-.

( 1 ) * 6:

⇒ ( 7 ) 6Zn → 6Zn2+  +  12e-

( 7 ) + ( 2 ):

⇒ 12H+ + 6Zn + 2NO3 → 6Zn2+ + N2 + 6H2O

                  6 - Zn - 6

                  2 - N - 2

                  6 - O - 6

                  12 - H - 12

b) oxidation states:

⇒ Zn: 0 → 2+ ≡ 2e-

⇒ N: +3 → -3 ≡ 6e-

half reaction:

( 1 ) Zn → Zn2+ + 2e-

(2 ) 9H2O + 9e- + NO3 → NH3 + 3H2O + 9OH-each H + ion present in the equation is added a respective OH- ion to each side of the equation, and the combination of OH- and H + ions found on the same side of the equation is replaced with a water molecule.

∴ ( 1 ) * 9 and ( 2 ) * 2 and then i add them:

⇒ 18H2O + 9Zn + 2NO3 → 9Zn2+ + 2NH3 + 6H2O + 18OH-

                  9 - Zn - 9

                  2 - N - 2

                  24 - O - 24

                 36 - H - 36

c) oxidation states:

∴ S:  -2 → 0 ≡ 2e-

half reaction:

( 1 ) CuS → Cu2+ + S + 2e-

( 2 ) NO3 + H2O + 4H+  + 4e- → NO + 3H2O

∴( ( 1 ) * 2 ) + ( 2 ):

( 2 ) NH3 + 2H2O → NO2 + 7H+  + 7e-

∴  ( 1 ) * 7 and ( 2 ) * 4 and then i add them:

⇒ 7O2 + 4NH3 + 8H2O → 4NO2 + 14H2O

⇒ 7O2 + 4NH3 → 4NO2 + 6H2O

            4 - N - 4

half reaction:

( 1 ) Cl2 + 6H2O → 2ClO3- + 12H+

( 2 ) Cl2 + OH + H+ → Cl- + H2O

in base:

( 1 ) Cl2 + 6H2O + 12OH- → 2ClO3- + 12H2O

( 2 ) Cl2 + OH + H2O → 2Cl- + H2O + OH-

the charge are balanced:

( 1 ) Cl2 + 6H2O + 12OH- → 2ClO3- + 12H2O + 10e-

( 2 ) Cl2 + OH + H2O + 3e- → 2Cl- + H2O + OH-

∴ ( 1 ) * 3 and ( 2 ) * 10, then i add them:

⇒ 13Cl2 + 26OH- + 10OH +  → 6ClO3- + 18H2O + 20Cl-  

               26 - Cl - 26

      2- I - 2

      2 - Fe - 2

some sources quote the lethal dose, for an average 170lbs opiate-naive individual is between 75 and 375 mg

i have no clue hope you find the answer
