Question

1) Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfer reaction. 3Sn2+ + 2Cr ----------> 3Sn + 2Cr3 As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from _______________ to _________________.

2) Identify the species oxidized, the species reduced, the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following electron transfer reaction. 3Fe3+ + Al ---------> 3Fe2+ + Al3+ As the reaction proceeds, electrons are transferred from _____________ to ___________ .

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 :

In the reaction the Sn is getting reduced whereas Cr is getting oxidised. So the electrons are getting transferred from Cr to Sn.

The reaction is a redox reaction, where one element is getting oxidised and the other one gets reduced. So the electrons are getting transferred from the element that is oxidised to the one that is getting reduced.
