You solve it by checking the formal charges of the atoms on both sides of the arrow. If there is a change, then it is a redox. The thing oxidized has it formal charge go from a lower value to higher value.

asked 03/04/22How do you solve this
Are any of these equations redox reactions? if so what are their reducing and oxidizing agents?
CuSO4(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
HCl(aq)+NH3(aq)→NH4Cl(aq)
2Ca(s)+O2(g)→2CaO(s)
