Thank you!

See explanation

Explanation:

A redox reaction equation shows a gain/loss of electrons from left to right in a reaction. In a redox reaction, a specie looses electrons while another specie gains electrons.

Considering the equation; 2Al(s) + 3Cu(NO3)2(aq) > 3Cu(s) + 2Al(NO3)3(aq)

The oxidation state of Al reactant is zero since the oxidation state of all uncombined elements is zero. The oxidation state of All in the product is +3

The oxidation state of the copper in the reactant is +2. The oxidation state of copper in the product is zero.

The oxidation state of N in the reactant and product is +5.

The oxidation state of oxygen in the reactant and product is (-2).

This is a redox reaction because from left to right, Al was oxidized (oxidation number increased from zero to +3) while Cu was reduced (oxidation number decreased from +2 to zero).
