Answer #1

Given that  

3Sn4+(aq) + 2Cr(s)  ⇔ 3Sn2+ (aq) + 2Cr+3(aq)

From the equation, we can see that Sn is reduced ( electron gain) and Cr is oxidized (electron loss)and we know oxidation occurs at anode and reduction occurs at the cathode in the cell.

We know that E0cell = E0R - E0L

where  E0cell = Standared reduction potential of Sn and  E0L = standared reduction potential of Cr

Therefore

E0cell = 0.15 - (-0.74)

E0cell = 0.89V

Hey, if you find any doubt feel free to ask and if you like lesson please give thumbs up. thanks
