Question

Calculate E° and Ecell (at 25 °C) for the following cell reaction:

Mg (s) + Sn2+ (aq) → Mg2+ (aq) + Sn (s)

Given the following [Mg2+] = 0.045 M and [Sn2+] = 0.0035 M

The standard reduction potentials for the half reactions are as follows:

Sn2+ (aq) → Sn (s)             E°= ‒0.14 V

Mg2+ (aq) → Mg  (s)          E°= ‒2.37 V
