Question

Two half-reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below:
Mn04(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e ——-> Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l), E° = + 1.51 V
Sn-2(aq) ——–> Sn4+(aq) + 2e, E° = + 0.15 V
Construct the redox equation from the standard potential of the cell and predict the reaction is reactant favoured or product favoured.

Expert Solution
Step 1

i)

MnO4(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e ——–> Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

ii)

Sn2+(aq) ———> Sn4+(aq) + 2e
