Determine whether each reaction is a redox reaction. For those reactions that are redox reactions, identify the substance being oxidized and the substance being reduced. (a) $\mathrm{Pb}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}(a q)+2 \mathrm{LiCl}(a q) \longrightarrow$ $\mathrm{PbCl}_{2}(s)+2 \mathrm{LiNO}_{3}(a q)$ (b) $2 \mathrm{HBr}(a q)+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(a q) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{CaBr}_{2}(a q)$ (c) $2 \mathrm{Al}(s)+\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Al}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(s)+2 \mathrm{Fe}(l)$ (d) $\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{O}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NaOH}(a q)$
