Chapter 16, Problem 80E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Metals which can cause ${\text{Sn}}^{+2}$, but not ${\text{Cr}}^{+3}$ to come out of the solution are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The metal which accepts electrons easily is reduced easily while the metal which does not accept electrons easily have the least tendency of reduction.

In the activityseries, top metals reduce bottom metal easily while the metals present below are unable to oxidize the above metals.
