Answer:
+4
Explanation:
In PbO2, oxygen exhibits an oxidation number of -2 (since it's not a peroxide or superoxide):
Let the oxidation number of Pb be x. Then, for the compound to be neutral, the oxidation numbers of all atoms should add up to zero.
⇒ x + (−2) + (−2) = 0
x = +4
So the oxidation no. of Pb is +4.

Answer:
C + 2H2 ⇒ CH4
Explanation:
In order to balance a chemical equation you need to make sure that the number of atoms on both sides are equal
C + H2 = CH4
C = 1
H = 2
Products:
C = 1
H = 4
H2 = 2 × 2 = 4
C + 2H2 ⇒ CH4
Hope this helps.

See explanation
Explanation:
The mechanism for the formation of bromohexane from hexene has been clearly shown in the image attached to this answer.
Hexene is attacked by HBr and a carbocation is first formed as shown. The carbocation is flat and planar. it can be attacked on either face by the bromide ion.
Attack on either faces yields a racemic mixture of the R and S enantiomer as shown in the image.
You can use the mechanism shown to fill in the structures.
