Na+Cl- + K+NO3  Na+NO3 + K+Cl- ; no change in oxidation state, not a redox reaction.

CaC2O4 + 2HCl  CaCl2 + H2C2O4; no change in oxidation state, not a redox reaction.

Mg(OH)2 + 2NH4Cl  MgCl2 + 2NH4OH ; no change in oxidation state, not a redox reaction.

Zn0 + 2Ag+1CN-1  2Ag0 + Zn+2(CN)2 ; Zn oxidizes and Ag reduces, Redox reaction.
