Question:

Which metal can be oxidized with an Sn2+ solution but not with an Fe2+ solution?

A) Only AluminumB) Only CadmiumC) Nickel and CadmiumD) Aluminum and NickelThanks, in Chemistry II and swamping.

Answer:

If you cook them covered at about 350 degrees for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, then uncover and allow the sauce to get thick and stick they will be tenderBrine them first also, this will help in flavor and tendernessSoak in salted and seasoned water overnight if you can, then rinse and season and bakeWith beef ribs I would marinate in balsamic, olive oil, garlic and salt and pepper.
Remember MAZINTThis tells you the reactivity order of metals magnesium, aluminium, zinc, iron, nickel and tin Oxidation is loss of electrons and more reactive metals gives away electrons to less reactive metalsSo we are looking for a metal higher than tin but lower than ironThe only metal in the rhyme is nickelDefinately not aluminium cos thats higher than ironAnswer must be C - Nickel and cadmium
