Sn2+ to Sn is a Oxidation or reduction? |
|
Answer» Answer: a) The Sn2+ IONS convert to Sn4+ ions because the tin(IV) oxidation STATE is more stable than tin(II). This MEANS the loss of two more electrons from the tin(II) ions, and these have to be given to something else, which gains them. Gain of electrons is REDUCTION, and so tin(II) ions are reducing AGENTS. |
