Consider the reaction: Sn²⁺(aq) + 2Fe³⁺(aq) $\rightarrow$Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2Fe²⁺(aq) Which species is oxidized, and how many electrons are transferred per SN₂+ ion that reacts?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sn²⁺ is oxidized because it loses electrons, going from a +2 oxidation state to a +4 oxidation state. Each Sn²⁺ ion that reacts loses 2 electrons.
