MHT CET 2026 Chemistry question

For the following redox reaction, find the correct statement Sn^{2+} + 2Fe^{3+} \rightarrow Sn^{4+} + 2Fe^{2+}

(A) is undergoing oxidation.Correct
(B) is undergoing oxidation.
(C)It is not a redox reaction
(D)Both and are oxidizied

Answer: (A)

Solution

Track the oxidation numbers. Tin goes from +2 in to +4 in : the oxidation number increases (loss of 2 electrons), so is oxidised (it is the reducing agent). Iron goes from +3 in to +2 in : the oxidation number decreases (gain of 1 electron
