Balancing Basic Redox Reactions... help!?

We got these for homework, and I have no idea how to do it. Help?
1. Al + MnO4- -> MnO2 + Al(OH)4- (basic)
2. ClO3- + I- -> Cl- + I2 (basic)
3. NO2- + Al -> NH3 + AlO2- (basic)
4. Cr(OH)3 + ClO- -> CrO4(2-) +Cl2 (basic)
5. Zn + NO3- -> Zn(2+) + N2O (basic)

I can't tell you how I solve each problem individually, but I can tell you the general way into
solving any redox problem, especially when it's a basic reaction.
Outline:
1. Assign oxidation numbers
2. Split into unbalanced half-reactions

3. Balance the half-reactions
4. Multiply half-reactions until numbers of e- are equal, and then add them
5. Check charges and numbers of atoms (and replace state subscripts)
I'll pull the first problem as an example.
1. Oxidation numbers for each element *from left to right*:
Al = 0 (neutral atom)
Mn = +7
O = -2
----------------Mn = +4
O = -2
Al = +3
O = -2
H = +1
From the above, we find that Al is oxidized (lost electrons) while Mn is reduced (gained
electrons).
2. Splitting the equation we get
Al --> Al(OH)4MnO4- --> MnO2
3. Start out as if we are dealing with acidic solution:
a) Balance atoms other than H and O.
We skip a) since there are no atoms other than H and O to be balanced.
b) Add H2O to balance oxygen.
Al + 4H2O --> Al(OH)4MnO4- --> MnO2 + 2H2O
c) Add H+ to balance hydrogen.
Al + 4H2O --> Al(OH)4- + 4H+
MnO4- + 4H+ --> MnO2 + 2H2O
d) Add e- (electrons) to balance charge.
Al + 4H2O --> Al(OH)4- + 4H+ + 3eMnO4- + 4H+ 3e- --> MnO2 + 2H2O
e) For basic medium ONLY: add OH- to both sides for every H+ in the half-reaction; replace
adjacent H+ and OH- with H2O.
Al + 4H2O + 4OH- --> Al(OH)4- + 4H+ + 4OH- + 3eMnO4- + 4H+ + 4OH- + 3e- --> MnO2 + 2H2O + 4OH-
which simply to
Al + 4H2O + 4OH- --> Al(OH)4- + 4H2O + 3eMnO4- + 4H2O + 3e- --> MnO2 + 2H2O + 4OH4) The numbers of e- in the half-reactions are already equal, so we can just add them. (Also,
you can clean up the equations above before adding them by canceling out equal numbers of
molecules on both sides. Most of the H2O can be removed from the half-reactions.)
Al + 4OH- --> Al(OH)4- + 3eMnO4- + 2H2O + 3e- --> MnO2 + 4OH--------------------------------------...
Al + MnO4- + 2H2O --> Al(OH)4- + MnO2
5) Double-check and we find that the equation is balanced. For the state subscripts (such as
(aq), (s), (l), etc.) I'll leave it to you, since you did not provide them from above.
For the rest of the equations the answers would be:
2. ClO3- + 4I- + 3H2O --> 2I2 + Cl- + 6OH3. NO2 + 2Al + H2O + OH- --> NH3 + 2AlO24. 2Cr(OH)3 + 3ClO + 4OH- --> 2CrO4(2-) + 3Cl2 + 5H2O
5. 3Zn + 2NO3- + N2 + 4H2O --> 3Zn(2+) + 2N2O + 8OH-
