For each of the following reactions:
1) Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction.
2) Identify which reactant is oxidized and which one is reduced.
3) Identify which reactant is the oxidizing agent and which one is the reducing agent.
4) Write balanced half reactions for the oxidation and reduction.
Zn(s) + FeCl2(aq) Fe(s) + ZnCL2(aq)
Zn(s) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) Pb(s) + Zn(NO3)2(aq)
3Ag(s) + Au(NO3)3(aq) Au(s) + 3AgNO3(s)
3Mg(s) + Al2(SO4)3(aq) 2AL(s) + 3MgSO4(aq)
If someone could please help me with this it would REALLY help and i would REALLY appreciate it!! (10 points for best answer!)
Thank you!!!

(I'll use {n} to mean an oxidation state of n, since I can't get all the superscripts I need.)
1. Zn(s) + FeCl₂(aq) → Fe(s) + ZnCL₂(aq)
Zn{0} + Fe{2+} + 2Clˉ → Fe{0} + Zn{2+} + 2Clˉ
