Question

Identify whether or not each of the following reactions is a redox reaction. To determine whether or not a reaction is a redox reaction, figure out the oxidation number of each atom. If the oxidation numbers do not change from one side to another, then it is not a redox reaction. Write the oxidation number of each atom above it on both the reactant and product side. Write the oxidation number for only one atom. For example, the oxidation number of each Br in Br₂ is zero, so write a zero above Br₂.

H₂O + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + OH^-

Cu + S → CuS

2 NOBr → N₂ + O₂ + Br₂

CH₃CH₂CH₃ + 5 O₂ → 3 CO₂ + 4 H₂O

Ca(NO₃)₂ + Na₂SO₄ → 2 NaNO₃ + CaSO₄

Provide a definition for each of the four types of redox reactions. Indicate the type of redox reaction each redox reaction is in the section above.
