The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the standard electrode potential for the half-reaction \( \text{Sn}^{4+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} \). We will use the given standard electrode potentials for the reactions involving \( \text{Sn}^{2+} \) and \( \text{Sn}^{4+} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Reactions and Their Potentials:** - The first reaction is: \[ \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn} \quad (E^\circ = -0.140 \, \text{V}) \] - The second reaction is: \[ \text{Sn}^{4+} + 4e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn} \quad (E^\circ = 0.010 \, \text{V}) \] 2. **Write the Desired Reaction:** - We want to find the potential for the reaction: \[ \text{Sn}^{4+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} \] - To obtain this reaction, we can manipulate the given reactions. 3. **Reverse the First Reaction:** - Reverse the first reaction to express it in terms of \( \text{Sn}^{2+} \): \[ \text{Sn} \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2e^- \quad (E^\circ = +0.140 \, \text{V}) \] 4. **Combine the Reactions:** - Now, we can add the reversed first reaction to the second reaction: \[ \text{Sn}^{4+} + 4e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn} \quad (E^\circ = 0.010 \, \text{V}) \] \[ \text{Sn} \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} + 2e^- \quad (E^\circ = +0.140 \, \text{V}) \] - The combined reaction will be: \[ \text{Sn}^{4+} + 2e^- \rightarrow \text{Sn}^{2+} \] 5. **Calculate the Standard Electrode Potential:** - The overall standard electrode potential \( E^\circ \) for the combined reaction can be calculated using the formula: \[ E^\circ = E^\circ_{\text{reduction}} + E^\circ_{\text{oxidation}} \] - Here, \( E^\circ_{\text{reduction}} = 0.010 \, \text{V} \) and \( E^\circ_{\text{oxidation}} = +0.140 \, \text{V} \). - Therefore: \[ E^\circ = 0.010 \, \text{V} + 0.140 \, \text{V} = 0.150 \, \text{V} \] 6. **Convert to Required Format:** - The problem asks for the magnitude in the form \( xx \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V} \): \[ 0.150 \, \text{V} = 15.0 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V} \] - The nearest integer for \( xx \) is 15. ### Final Answer: The magnitude of the standard electrode potential for \( \text{Sn}^{4+} // \text{Sn}^{2+} \) is \( 15 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{V} \). ---
