Question #59568

I have been trying to balance this redox reaction for the last two hours, but my final answer doesn't look correct. I am trying to balance the oxidation reaction of benzoin to benzil using nitric acid.
The unbalanced equation is :- benzoin + nitric acid ----> benzil + NO2
My answer is :- Benzoin + 2 nitric acid ------> 2 NO2 + 2 H2O + benzil
I balanced it using half rxn
