A mixture of `FeCI_(2)` and `SnCI_(2)` can exist togethr but that of `FeCI_(3)` and `SnCI_(3)` cannot explain why ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To explain why a mixture of FeCl₂ and SnCl₂ can coexist while a mixture of FeCl₃ and SnCl₃ cannot, we can analyze the oxidation states and the redox behavior of the compounds involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Oxidation States**: - In FeCl₂, iron (Fe) is in the +2 oxidation state. - In SnCl₂, tin (Sn) is also in the +2 oxidation state. - In FeCl₃, iron (Fe) is in the +3 oxidation state. ...
