Question: Calculate the increase or decrease in the oxidation state for each element listed as it changes from a reactant to a product. Use a negative

Calculate the increase or decrease in the oxidation state for each element listed as it changes from a reactant to a product. Use a negative sign to show a decrease in oxidation state.
sulfur, beginning in the reactant ZnS
sulfur, beginning in the reactant H2S
chromium, beginning in the reactant Cr2O3
--------
Balanced equations:
1)2ZnS(s)+3(O2)->2ZnO(s)+2 SO2(g)
2) Cu^2(aq)+H2S(g)->CuS(s)+2H(aq)
3)3Na2 O2(s)+Cr2 O3(s)+2H+->6Na+(aq)+2CrO4^2-+H2O(l)
