Which one of the following species will react with Sn at standard state conditions?

a) S
b) Ag+
c) Cu
d) Zn2+

What does it mean by standard state conditions? And what do I have to look at to determine it? Would it be Zn2+?

1 answer

Standard state means 25 C temperature and 1M concentrations for solutions.
You want to look up the standard reduction potentials and see if Sn (being oxidized) produces a positive Ecell for any of the other species acting as reducers.
