Question
Which ions will oxidize aluminum? $\mathrm{Li}^{+} ; \mathrm{Ca}^{2+} ; \mathrm{Ag}^{+} ; \mathrm{Sn}^{2+}$
Step 1
Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons. In a redox reaction, the substance that is oxidized loses electrons and the substance that is reduced gains electrons. Show more…
