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.

At anode : `Sn_((aq))^(2+)rightarrow Sn_((aq))^(4+) + 2e^(-) ]xx5`
At cathode : `MnO_(4)^(-) (aq) + 8H_((aq))^(+) + 5e^(-)rightarrow Mn_((aq))^(2+) + 4H_(2)O_((1))]xx2`
Net cell reaction : `2MnO_(4) ^(-) + 5Sn_((aq))^(2+) + 16H_((aq))^(+)rightarrow2Mn_((aq))^(2+) + 5Sn_((aq))^(4+)+ 8H_(2)O_((1))`
`E_(cell)^(@) = E_(cathode)^(@) -E_(anode)^(@) = 1.51V - 0.15V - 0.15V = 1.36V`
Since, cell potential is positive therefore the reaction is product favoured.
