Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept: a more reactive metal can displace a less reactive metal from it's ion solution.

Now a metal have higher position in electro-chemical series than others than is is higher in reactivity.

Further a metal have more negative reduction potential is higher in electro-chemical series.

Now 

Reduction potential of (Cu+2) = + 0.34

Reduction potential of (Sn+2) = - 0.14
