Answer: a) Sn 2+

Explanation:A reducing agent is a substance that can be oxidized when it loses electrons while An oxidizing agent is a substance that is reduced when it gains electrons.

Considering Cu 2+, Fe 3+, Al 3+, Here, Cu 2+ can be reduce to its Copper metal, same for Al 3+ to Aluminium metal and Fe 3+ to Fe 2+ ion and will not be oxidized further since they are in their most oxidized states. The three ions are acting as only oxidizing agents.

while Sn 2+ can be oxidized to become Sn 4+ and also be reduced to become Sn metal acting as a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Example #1: How many moles of oxygen will occupy a volume of 2.50 L at STP? Standard ... What is the volume of gas at 2.00 atm and 200.0 K if its original volume was ... P2 = 2.00 atm 2.000tm) 273k. T=273k. 200.0k. Tz= 200.0k. V, = 200.0L ... A gas has a pressure of 0.370 atm at 50.0°C. What is the pressure at standard.
