Answer 2

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

`2Fe^(3+) + Sn^(2+) \rightarrow 2Fe^(2+) + Sn^(4+)`

Oxidation-half reaction:
`Sn^(2+) \rightarrow Sn^(4+) + 2e^(-)`

Reduction-halfreaction:
`Fe^(3+) + 1e^(-) \rightarrow Fe^(2+)`

Hence, there is exchange of electrons occurring therefore, it is known that it is a chemical reaction related to electrochemistry.

Whereas in biochemistry is related to the process occurring in living beings. And thermodynamics is related to exchange of energy or heat with the system.

And study of acids and bases is related to exchange of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

Thus, we can conclude that a chemical reaction related to electrochemistry best describes this given reaction.
