Question

Is Sn^2+ + Br2 ---> Sn^4+ + 2Br^- a spontaneous or non-spontaneous redox reaction?

Answer 1

Sn^2+ + Br2 ---> Sn^4+ + 2Br^- is referred to as a non-spontaneous redox reaction.

What is a Non spontaneous reaction?

This type of reaction doesn't favor the formation of the product and must be endothermic.

In the reaction above under the given conditions, ΔG is positive and it is intended to form Sn(s) and Br(l) through the reduction of tin cation to make bromine liquid and tin solid. This therefore points to the direction of the reaction being non-spontaneous one.
