Answer #1

1)

Oxidation state of C in reactant is +4

Oxidation state of O in reactant is -2

Oxidation state of H in reactant is 0

Oxidation state of C in reactant is +2

Oxidation state of O in reactant is -2

Oxidation state of H in reactant is +1

Here oxidation state of C is changing from +4 to +2.

So, C in CO2 is reduced

Answer: CO2

2)

CaSO4 is compound of Ca2+ and SO42-

So, oxidation state of Ca is +2

Lets find the oxidation state of S and O in SO42-

Oxidation number of O = -2

lets the oxidation number of S be x

use:

4* oxidation number (O) + 1* oxidation number (S) = net charge

4*(-2)+1* x = -2

-8 + 1 * x = -2

x = 6

So oxidation number of S = +6

Answer: option 3
