The current of 2 A is passed for 5 h through a molten tin salt to deposit 22.2 g tin. What is the oxidation state of tin in salt? [Atomic weight of `Sn=118.69 g`]A. `+2`B. `+5`C. `+3`D. `+4`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Equivalents of tin `=(i. t)/(96500)`
or `22.2/(Eq. wt.)=(2xx5xx60xx60)/(96500)`
`:.` Eq. wt. `=59.5`
`:.` Valency of tin `=(At. wt.)/(Eq. wt.)=118.69/59.5=2` (an integer)
