When the following redox equation is balanced with smallest whole number coefficients, the coefficient for sn(oh)3– will be bi(oh)3(s) + sn(oh)3–(aq) → sn(oh)62–(aq) + bi(s) (basic solution)

The coefficient of is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom loses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

For the given chemical reaction:

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction:  

Reduction half reaction:  

To balance the oxidation half reaction must be multiplied by 3 and reduction half reaction must be multiplied by 2 thus, the balanced equation is:-

The coefficient of is 3 in the balanced redox reaction.

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of carbon is as shown here in the image.
