Dear startech.me99@gmail.com

Thanks for asking us a question in Ask the Expert section of TopperLearning.com.
 
In case of multiple questions within a query, please post each question individually and let us know where you are getting stuck so that we would be able to explain things better.
 
 
Solution for your first query,
 
a) Please check the reaction. There must be CH4 instead of CO4 on the reactant side. Then only the reaction becomes balanced.
If it methane instead of carbon tetroxide is the reactant, that means
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
Then it is a combustion reaction of methane in which carbon dioxide and water are always the products. Here methane gets oxidised and and oxygen gas gets reduced. Hence the reaction is oxidation-reduction type of reaction in which methane is reducing agent and oxygen gas is oxidising agent.
