The standard reduction potentials for two pairs of redox species are shown below. What is the reading on a potentiometer (in volts) under standard conditions if these two reactions are used to design the following cell:  Sn (s) | Sn2+ (aq) || Fe2+ (aq) | Fe (s) Half-Reactions Sn2+ (aq) + 2e- → Sn(s)         E° = -0.14 V Fe2+ (aq) + 2e- → Fe (s)        E° = -0.44 V

Question

The standard reduction potentials for two pairs of redox species are shown below. What is the reading on a potentiometer (in volts) under standard conditions if these two reactions are used to design the following cell: 

Sn (s) | Sn2+ (aq) || Fe2+ (aq) | Fe (s)

Half-Reactions

Sn2+ (aq) + 2e- → Sn(s)         E° = -0.14 V

Fe2+ (aq) + 2e- → Fe (s)        E° = -0.44 V
