If a strip of tin metal is dipped into a solution containing zinc ions, does a spontaneous reaction occur? If so, write the two half-reactions and the balanced overall equation for the reaction.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Solution:
Step 1
Tin metal is dipped into a solution containing zinc ions, spontaneous reaction occurs.
This is due to the low reduction potential of Sn (tin).
