Chapter 5, Problem 56E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The concentration of ${\text{Sn}}^{\text{2+}}$ at the given concentration of ${\text{Zn}}^{2+}$ and given value of cell emf is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: In voltaic cell, the oxidation reaction occurs at anode and the reduction reaction occurs at cathode. The reaction quotient for a general voltaic cell is given as,

$Q=\frac{\left[\text{Product}\right]}{\left[\text{Reactant}\right]}$

To determine: The concentration of ${\text{Sn}}^{\text{2+}}$ at the given concentration of ${\text{Zn}}^{2+}$ and given value of cell emf.
