Study Notes
Redox Reaction: Sn^2+ → Sn^4+
- Sn^2+ is oxidized, which means it loses electrons
- Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, resulting in an increase in oxidation state (from 2+ to 4+)
- In this reaction, Sn^2+ is the species that is being oxidized
Identify the oxidized species in the reaction where Sn2+ is converted to Sn4+. Understand the change in oxidation state and the loss of electrons during oxidation.
