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`.

Explanation

To determine whether the reaction

\[ \text{Sn}^{2+} (aq) + \text{Br}_2 (l) \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{4+} (aq) + 2\text{Br}^- (aq) \]

can occur under standard conditions, we need to calculate the standard cell potential (\(E^\circ_{\text{cell}}\)) using the given standard reduction potentials:

- \(E^\circ_{\text{Sn}^{4+}/\text{Sn}^{2+}} = +0.15 \, \text{V}\)
- \(E^\circ_{\text{Br}_2/\text{Br}^-} = +1.06 \, \text{V}\)
