Predict whether the following reaction can occur under standard conditions or not.
`Sn^(2+) (aq) +Br_(2)(l) rarr Sn^(4+) (aq) +2Br^(-)(aq)`
Given: `E_(Sn^(4+)//Sn^(2+))^(@) = + 0.15, E_(Br^(2)//Br^(-))^(@) = 1.06V`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_("cell")^(@) = E_("cathode")^(@) -E_("anode")^(@) = 1.06 - 0.15 = 0.91V`.
Since, `E_("cell")^(@)` comes out be positive, this means that the reaction can occur.
