FeCl₃ is oxidized and acts as oxidizing agent.
SnCl₂ is reduced and acts as oxidizing agent.
FeCl₃ is oxidized and SnCl₂ acts as oxidizing agent.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Oxidation number of Sn changes from +2 to +4, it is oxidised and acts as a reducing agent. Oxidation number of Fe changes from +3 to +2, it is reduced and acts as an oxidising agent.
