Give reasons
Stannous chloride and Ferric chloride cannot be kept in same container.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If `SnCl_2` and `FeCl_3` are kept in contact a redox reaction will immediately start as a result of which `Sn^(+2)` will oxidise to `Sn^(4+)` while reducing `Fe^(+3)` ion to `Fe^(+2)` ion i.e. ferrous chloride.
`2Fe^(3+)+Sn^(+2)to2Fe^(2+)+Sn^(4+)`
