Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether Ag metal can reduce \( Sn^{2+} \), we need to compare the standard reduction potentials of the two half-reactions involved. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Standard Reduction Potentials**: - The standard reduction potential for \( Ag^+ + e^- \rightarrow Ag \) is \( E^\circ_{Ag^+} = +0.80 \, V \). - The standard reduction potential for \( Sn^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow Sn \) is \( E^\circ_{Sn^{2+}} = -0.14 \, V \). ...
