Step-by-step solution
Zn s + Sn 2 + aq ⇌ Zn 2 + aq + Sn s Given: 2 . 303 RT F   =   0 . 059   V E cell 0   =   2 . 303 RT 2 F   log   K c ⇒   E cell 0   =   0 . 059 2   log   ( 10 20 ) ⇒   E cell 0   =   0 . 059 2   ×   20 ⇒   E cell 0   =   0 . 59   V E cell 0   =   E Sn 2 + / Sn 0   -   E Zn 2 + / Zn 0 ⇒   E cell 0   =   E Sn 2 + / Sn 0   -   ( - 0 . 76
