Question

Predict whether the following reaction will occur spontaneously or not:
Co2++SnCo+Sn2+
ECo/Co2=0.277 volt and ESn/Sn2+=0.136 volt.

Solution

in the given reaction,
Co2+ is getting reduced and Sn is getting oxidized;
E0cell = reduction potentail of cathode - reduction potential of anode
E0cell= 0.2770.136
E0cell= positive
hence, the reaction is sponateous.
