Two half-reactions of an electrochemical...

Two half-reactions of an electrochemical cell are given below:
`MnO_(4)^(-)(aq) +8H^(+) (aq) +5e^(-) to Mn^(2+)(aq) +4H_(2)O(l), E^(Theta)= +1.51V`
`Sn^(2+)(aq) to Sn^(4+)(aq)+2e^(-), E^(Theta)=0.15V`
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.
