Experimentally, one of the reactions for which we must come up with a net ionic equation is Tin(IV) chloride and Sodium iodide.

Reference blank tests show that tin and iodide ions are necessary for the reaction. Now how the heck do I predict the products of this reaction, and what gets oxidized and what gets reduced? Reading about redox reactions has not gotten me any closer to understanding this.

Check which oxidation numbers can tin have? Iodide will be oxidized to iodine.
