Two half-reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below : MnO–4 (aq) + 8H+ (aq) + 5e– → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (I), E° = 1.51 V Sn2+ (aq) → Sn4+ (aq) + 2e–, E° = + 0.15 V. Construct the redox reaction equation from the two half-reactions and calculate the cell potential from the standard potentials and predict if the reaction is reactant or product favoured. -Chemistry

1 Answer

Answer :

The reactions can be represented at anode and at cathode in the following ways : At anode (oxidation) : Sn2+ → Sn4+ (aq) + 2e– ] × 5 E° = + 0.15 V Af cathode (reduction) : MnO–4(aq) + 8H+ (aq) + 5e– → Mn2+ (aq) + 4H2O (I)] × 2 E° = + 1.51 V The Net R × M = 2MnO–4(aq) + 16H+ + 5Sn2+ → 2Mn2+ + 5Sn4+ + 8H2O Now E°cell = E°cathode – E°anode = 1.51 – 0.15 = + 1.36 V ∴ Positive value of E°cell favours formation of product.
