Solution Summary
The solution explains how to get mechanisms for three different reactions.
Solution Preview
Sn has two oxidation states +2 and +4. Out of these two +4 is more stable than +2 , Sn+2/Sn+4 potential is -0.15 V. So Sn(II) compounds are unstable and get oxidised to Sn(IV). But in spite of more stability of Sn(IV), its chemistry cannot be carried out in aqueous (H2O) media due to the ease of hydrolysis to hydroxides. These hydroxides are nothing but tin oxides which are highly ...
