If something being reduced, it loses an oxygen, and if something is being oxidized, it gains an oxygen. The element being reduced is called the oxidizer; the element being oxidized is called the reducer. (just remember, it's called the opposite of what happens to it) In the context of your equation, which i assume to be CuCl2+KNO3-->Cu(NO3)2+2KCl, potassium (or the K) is losing oxygen, which therefore makes that the oxidizer, the one being reduced.

How do you balance CuCl Cl2 - CuCl2?

To balance the equation Cu + Cl2 → CuCl2, you need to make sure there are the same number of atoms on each side: 2 Cu atoms on the left, 2 Cl atoms in CuCl2, and 2 Cl atoms in Cl2. So, the balanced equation is Cu + Cl2 → CuCl2.
