검증된 단계별 안내1
Identify the oxidation states of each element in the reactants and products. Sn²⁺ has an oxidation state of +2, Fe³⁺ has an oxidation state of +3, Sn⁴⁺ has an oxidation state of +4, and Fe²⁺ has an oxidation state of +2.
Determine the change in oxidation states for each element. Sn²⁺ changes from +2 to +4, indicating an increase in oxidation state, while Fe³⁺ changes from +3 to +2, indicating a decrease in oxidation state.
Recall that oxidation involves an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves a decrease in oxidation state.
Apply the definitions: Sn²⁺ is oxidized because its oxidation state increases from +2 to +4. Fe³⁺ is reduced because its oxidation state decreases from +3 to +2.
Conclude that in the given redox reaction, Sn²⁺ is the substance undergoing oxidation, and Fe³⁺ is the substance undergoing reduction.
