Title: Predicting Products
Post by: XxslbabesxX on April 25, 2006, 05:50:33 PM

I have to write the formula to show reactants and products for the following:

Solutions of tin(II) chloride and iron(III) chloride are mixed.


I can't seem to predict the products. All I got was up to:

Sn⁺² + Cl^- + Fe⁺³ + Cl^----> ??

Can someone explain to me how to get the products and what type of reaction this is? Thank you.

Redox. Check half reaction potentials for Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ and Sn²⁺/Sn⁴⁺.
