Chapter 17, Problem 51QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The ratio of concentration of lead and tin ions when $E_{\text{cell}}^{}=0$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Cell potential can be used to tell the possibility of the reaction to occur. The reactions having a positive value of $E_{\text{cell}}$ will proceed in the forward direction whereas those having negative value of $E_{\text{cell}}$ proceed in backward direction.
