Cell is galvanic cell means reaction in the cell is spontaneous.
We know the significance of electrode potential that, element having more positive value of reduction potential acts as a cathode & element having less positive value of reduction potential acts as a anode.
If we compare reduction potentials of Pb & Sn, we found that Pb will act as a cathode & Sn will acts as a anode.
Consider a half reactions.
Reaction at anode : Sn (s) Sn 2+ (aq) + 2 e -
Reaction at cathode : Pb 2+ (aq) + 2 e - Pb (s)
Overall reaction : Sn (s) + Pb 2+ (aq) Sn 2+ (aq) + Pb (s)
Number of electrons transferred in the overall reaction ( n) = 2
The standard emf of the cell is calculated as E 0 cell = E 0 cathode - E 0 anode
E 0 cell = - 0.126 V - ( - 0.141 V ) = 0.015 V
The emf of the cell is calculated by using Nernst equation .
E cell = E 0 cell - 2.303 R T / n F log Q
E cell = 0.015 - 2.303 R T / n F log [Sn 2+] / [ Pb 2+]
At 298 K , 2.303 R T / F = 0.0591.
we have , [Sn 2+] = 0.3 M & [ Pb 2+] = 0.6 M
E cell = 0.015 - 0.0591 / 2 log 0.3 / 0.6
E cell = 0.015 - ( - 0.00890 )
E cell = 0.015 + 0.00890 V
E cell = 0.0239 V
ANSWER : Emf of the galvanic cell is 0.0239 V
